Ross Quinlan received the SIGKDD Innovation Award at KDD 2011 in San Diego.
Quinlan is well-known for his work on decision tree learning, in particular for developing the C4.5 algorithm and its successor, C5.0.
He has also a company, RuleQuest Research, that sells tools and services related to his inventions.
At the award session I found out that the single-threaded Linux versions of C5.0 (for classification) and Cubist (for regression) are available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, that is, they are free software. Nice! You can download them here.
Except that I had to install csh
to be able to build the programs, installation was without problems. It seems they are not yet packaged for Debian, though. Any volunteers?
