The University of California at Irvine's Categorisation Benchmark

• Everyone uses the UCI benchmark, so you can compare your algorithm to other algorithms.
• It's here.
• We're going to look at a toy data set, baloons.
• Instances are typically represented by a vector of feature values, and a category.
• Here there are four (binary) features, and a binary category.
• What other types of features could you have?
