Totally different results with model depending on storage method

Hi there,

 

are there limitations on which models you can safely store using the 'store model' operator? I noticed huge differences using a model stored as xml, and the same model stored directly in the server repository.

 

The model I used was the Weka MultiBayes, and originally I stored it as xml. Unfortunatly while my training / test results were more than ok, applying the model to new data was resulting in almost no match at all. When I tried to do the same thing with the same model stored on the repo they were as expected. So it seems as there is a huge difference with how models are read from xml as from repo.

I also wanted to try it with saving it as a binary rather than XML, but it won't even load it since it seems to expect an xml by default. Is there a special extention that needs to be used when saving as binary?

I can help myself for the time being by storing the model in the database, but since this is not always the best way to do for real heavy models I'd like to understand where I go wrong with using the 'store model' option.

    yes I too have always had trouble storing Weka models (decision tree in my case).  Let me ask around and see if there's progress.
