The Software Licensing department provides commercial software for the University community cheaply or for free.
The Department of Computer Science and the ISP maintain /usr/local/contrib/bin that is intended for installing software that is
shared among all students. Currently, the following packages are installed:
| Field | Package name | Platform / Source code | Directory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Support vector machines | mySVM | Windows / Linux | /usr/local/contrib/bin/mySVM |
Please start exploring packages by reading file Readme.txt in the root of the directory where the package is installed.
There are a lot of AI packages and toolboxes that are available as freeware or open source. Some may only be used for research or non-commercial development. To recommend an addition to this list, please send an e-mail to the webmaster.

| Finite-state machines | AT&T FSM Library - General-Purpose Finite-State Machine Software Tools |
The FSM library is a set of general-purpose software tools available for Unix, for building, combining, optimizing, and searching weighted finite-state acceptors and transducers. Finite-state transducers are automata for which each transition has an output label in addition to the more familiar input label. Weighted acceptors or transducers are acceptors or transducers in which each transition has a weight as well as the input or input and output labels. |

| Graphical models | IBAL |
IBAL (pronounced "eyeball") is a general-purpose language for probabilistic modeling, parameter estimation and decision making. It generalizes Bayesian networks, hidden Markov models, stochastic context free grammars, Markov decision processes, and allows many new possibilities. It also provides a convenient programming-language framework with libraries, automatic type checking and so on. |

| Machine learning | Orange |
Orange is a component-based data mining software. It includes a range of preprocessing, modelling and data exploration techniques. It is based on C++ components, that are accessed either directly (not very common), through Python scripts (easier and better), or through GUI objects called Orange Widgets. |

| Machine learning | Weka 3: Machine Learning Software in Java |
Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for solving real-world data mining problems. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code. Weka contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. It is also well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes. |

| Machine learning | YALE: Yet Another Learning Environment |
YALE is an environment for machine learning experiments. Experiments can be made up of a large number of arbitrarily nestable operators and their setup is described by XML files which can easily created with a graphical user interface. Applications of YALE cover both research and real-world learning tasks. |
