  Description     : environment for rapid prototyping of data mining applications

 YALE (Yet Another Learning Environment) is a flexible open-source
 tool for knowledge discovery, machine learning experiments, and data
 mining applications. Experiments can be made up of a large number of
 arbitrarily nestable operators and their setup is described by XML
 files which can easily be created with a graphical user
 interface. Applications of YALE cover both research and real-world
 data mining tasks.
 .
 A modular operator concept allows the design of complex nested
 operator chains for a huge number of learning problems. The data
 handling is transparent to the operators. They do not have to cope
 with the actual data format or different data views - the YALE core
 takes care of the necessary transformations. YALE is widely used by
 researchers and in industry.
 .
 Use YALE and explore your data! Simplify the construction of
 experiments and the evaluation of different approaches. Try to find
 the best combination of preprocessing and learning steps or let YALE
 do that automatically for you. The graphical user interface and the
 XML based scripting language turn YALE into an integrated development
 environment (IDE) for machine learning and data mining. Furthermore,
 this concept defines a standardized interchange format for data mining
 experiments.


There is already a package called yale in Debian, so either one will
need a new name.
