Rapid-I has released an new and improved version of the open source data mining suite RapidMiner (formely called YALE). I’ve been evaluating RapidMiner lately as a possible addition to my data mining toolbox. I’ve found the biggest hurdle in learning how to use it is probably the GUI. It is a tree-based GUI which I find much harder to understand than the graph-style approach used by many others. However RapidMiner is quite a powerful tool, and the Community Edition is free, so there is probably a lot of benefit in getting used to the strange GUI.
The built in tutorial is a really good way to get a grasp of the system and I highly recommend spending some time on this if you are interested in learning RapidMiner. I would also recommend a series of RapidMiner video turtorials over at Neural Market Trends that are worth checking out too.

i also tried learning RapidMiner by downloading the free community edition but found the interface very weird and difficult.
to answer your comment on my post - no, i didn’t try random forest.
