[SOLVED] Reading binary files

Ugo

Hello,

I am a just starting to use rapid miner and have a question. I found a recommender pack in the myExperiment [1] site that has data files with the extensions *.ioo and *.md. I assume these are binary files so I used rapid miner's binary data import option (File menu) to load these. However this does not seem to work. After loading and running no output data is visible. How should I load these files in the GUI?

Apologies if this is has been asked before but I only found one reference [2] that did not help me much.

TIA,
Hugo

Hello Hugo,

RapidMiner manages its files in so called repositories which are listed in the "Repositories" tab. All files in this repository are stored on your file system. If you store an ExampleSet inside this repository you will see files like *.ioo file for the content and the *.md file for the meta data. To use these files it is sufficient to copy&paste them into the directory on your file system and refresh the repository in RapidMiner (or restart the program).

The hot question is now: Where is my repository? Right-click on your repository and click on "Open in file browser".

Best regards
