I have an output tree in weka but can't view it (right click ...). Is there a tool to generate the resulting tree in an understandable way from the copy of the log (figures)?

The above textual representation cannot be converted into other formats, unless you write your own parser.

However, if you use the -g option on the command-line, the tree will get output on stdout in dot-notation. You can then take this output and convert it into other formats, like PNG or PDF using the GraphViz software.

  • Thank you for your answer! The command "-g" on which prompt do you mean? I am using the weka explorer tool, to make a prediction using multiple instance learning specifically the TLC algorithm. – Andrea D'Aguanno May 13 '21 at 22:02
  • You can use the SimpleCLI if you're not.comfortablr with using the terminal/command prompt. – fracpete May 14 '21 at 10:25

You can run Weka from the command line if you have java installed. On my Windows machine from the Weka-3-9-5 directory:

C:\Weka-3-9-5> java -cp weka.jar weka.classifiers.trees.J48 -C 0.25 -M 2 -t .\data\iris.arff

This gives you the output that you current have with the trees. However:

C:\Weka-3-9-5> java -cp weka.jar weka.classifiers.trees.J48 -C 0.25 -M 2 -t .\data\iris.arff -g

gives you a different format:

digraph J48Tree { N0 [label="petalwidth" ] ... } and you can feed this to GraphViz to get a nice printed tree. I put the digraph output into a tree.txt file and then generated a png image file through GraphViz:

C:\GraphViz> dot -Tpng tree.txt > tree.png
