I am currently playing around with it. Decent support vector machine implementation. However, I have some problems with it. It is by far not as hugh as weka http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/ It is in python (big plus) and seems to be easily hacked for online classification. I like https://mlpy.fbk.eu/ a bit better, as it has also a decent integrated Nearest Neighbor (ok, ok this one is not hard to implement on you…

Hey, what do FDA and DWT stand for? (Sorry, that link doesn't work for me.) Thanks!

Google, being a good friend of mine, didn't mind me asking. His answer: Fisher Discriminant Analysis (FDA), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). I'll introduce you: http://google.com

I did search for DWT. I don't understand how wavelets would be used in this context, so I was hoping for some verification.

http://www.ailab.si/orange/ This is the most thorough Python machine learning package I know of. Includes SVM. Lots of tutorials, too, and a visual development environment (if that's your style).

But Orange library is not actively developed/maintained. Right?

Wow, sounds impressive, but that link isn't working for me unfortunately! Do you know of a mirror?

Link working now, FYI.

If only there were some good non-GPL machine learning libraries for Python...

There is a start at it here:

http://www.scipy.org/scipy/scikits/wiki/MachineLearning

Still some active development, but needs more people:

Well, it is academic software. I work at ailab.si and a lot of my work concerns Orange, especially its bioinformatics addon. Its development is slow because we also need to do some other things, like research. New features are usually added when we need them.

It is actively maintained/developed but by only few developers, so its progress can seem slow at times.
