Found only on the islands of New Zealand, the Weka is a flightless bird with an inquisitive nature. The name is pronounced like this, and the bird sounds like this.
Weka is open source software issued under the GNU General Public License.
We have put together several free online courses that teach machine learning and data mining using Weka. Check out the website for the courses for details on when and how to enrol. The videos for the courses are available on Youtube.
Yes, it is possible to apply Weka to process big data [1] and perform deep learning [2]!

- The Weka (pronounced Way-Kuh) workbench[1] contains a collection of visualization tools and algorithms for data analysis and predictive modeling, together with graphical user interfaces for easy access to this functionality. The original non-Java version of Weka was a TCL/TK front-end to (mostly third-party) modeling algorithms implemented in other programming languages, plus data preprocessing utilities in C, and a Makefile-based system for running machine learning experiments. This original version was primarily designed as a tool for analyzing data from agricultural domains,[2][3] but the more recent fully Java-based version (Weka 3), for which development started in 1997, is now used in many different application areas, in particular for educational purposes and research. Advantages of Weka include:
- free availability under the GNU General Public License.
- portability, since it is fully implemented in the Java programming language and thus runs on almost any modern computing platform
- a comprehensive collection of data preprocessing and modeling techniques
- ease of use due to its graphical user interfaces
