How can i write a new classifier in rapidminer ?

Question

Hi, I need rocchio classifier in my classification task but did not found it already available in rapid miner. I saw a research paper and i think that writing own implementation of rocchio would not a very hefty task so i decided to write my own implementation for rocchio.

How can i write a new classifier which can work with example set ? Any parent class(to extends) or interfaces(to implement) i need for this purpose ?

Thanks Ralf for quick feedback,  Yes i will share it once i am done with it. I will look into white paper and would start work on it as soon as possible.

Hi Kashif Khan,

the RapidMiner documentation page
    http://rapidminer.com/documentation/
provides a free whitepaper on How to Extend RapidMiner
    http://1xltkxylmzx3z8gd647akcdvov.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/How-to-Extend-RapidMiner-5.pdf

You can create your own RapidMiner extension and make your algorithms native RapidMiner algorithms (operators). RapidMiner is implemented in Java and the RapidMiner source code provides a large number of algorithms as examples of how to implement such operators in RapidMiner.

The RapidMiner Java API and the RapidMiner source code are part of the ZIP file that you can find it here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapidminer/files/1.%20RapidMiner/5.3/

Would you be willing to share your algorithms with the community?

We are always happy to see new RapidMiner extensions.  :)

Best wishes,
Ralf
