Decision Tree Output Formats from RM Server

Hi all,

 

I'm pretty new to RapidMiner and I'm currently building a web application to show the results of some processes.

Unfortunately I am not able to generate a useful output from a decision table process.

I tried to select JSON as Output Format but unfortunately I don't get any response when calling the service. 

 

Is there any possibility to use decision tree services with a generic, reusable output format like JSON or XML?

The goal is to create an interactive decision tree with some visualization frameworks like D3.js.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ingo

    Hi Ingo,

     

    most RapidMiner objects are in the background XML files. You can use Write Model to write the decision tree to disc and read it again with Read XML or maybe easier Read Document. That should return a XML of the tree.

    The answer is yes but you will need the RapidMiner Server to expose the Decision Tree model. This is done in the Server by creating a webservice in many different formats, JSON and XML being in the list. 

     

    D3js integration is completly doable but it requires a few extra steps on the Server side. If you want to just export the Decision Tree rules, you can use the Tree to Rules operator as well.
