R interface to OpenML.org

OpenML.org is an online machine learning platform where researchers can access open data, download and upload data sets, share their machine learning tasks and experiments and organize them online to work and collaborate with other researchers. The R interface allows to query for data sets with specific properties, and allows the downloading and uploading of data sets, tasks, flows and runs.

Installation of the package

• Install the stable version from CRAN

install.packages("OpenML")

or

• Install the development version from GitHub (using devtools)

devtools::install_github("openml/openml-r")

Furthermore, you need farff installed to process ARFF files:

install.packages("farff")

Alternatively you can make use of the RWeka R package to process ARFF files. However, in particular for larger ARFF files, farff is considerably faster than RWeka.
