Data mining tools -a case study for network intrusion detection

Abstract

AbstractWith the growth of data mining and machine learning approaches in recent years, many efforts have been made to generalize these sciences so that researchers from any field can easily utilize these sciences. One of the most important of these efforts is the development of data mining tools that try to hide the complexities from researchers so that they can achieve a professional output with any level of knowledge. This paper is focused on reviewing and comparing data mining and machine learning tools including WEKA, KNIME, Keel, Orange, Azure, IBM SPSS Modeler, R and Scikit-Learn to show what approach each of these methods has taken in the face of the complexities and problems of different scenarios of generalization of data mining and machine learning. In addition, for a more detailed review, this paper examines the challenge of network intrusion detection in two tools, Knime with graphical interface and Scikit-Learn with coding environment.
