Rapid Miner slow (failing ?) to load data

nicolas_richard

Hi everyone,

I'm clustering Facebook data using K-means and the cosine similarity measure.

I have about 600 hundreds attributes for about 300 persons. My CSV file is 410ko.
It appears that Rapid Miner fail to load the data and I don't understand why.

Here is what hapenned : I launched the process, but after 1h running (I did my laundry in case you wonder  ) I decided to stop it. I had a look at the log and here is what I found :

Mar 14, 2013 5:00:46 PM INFO: Process //NewLocalRepository/with-profile-info starts Mar 14, 2013 5:00:46 PM INFO: Loading initial data. Mar 14, 2013 6:03:51 PM INFO: Process stopped. Completing current operator.

I believe this means that the clustering didn't even start. Am I wrong ?

Do you have any idea, on what I should to about that ?

Thanks a lot.
Nicolas.

Hi,

can you try the CSV Import wizard (File -> Import Data -> Import CSV File)? Does it work that way?

Regards,

Hello Marco,

Thanks for your answer, this is actually what I'm already doing.

[edit] I just gave it one more try, (on saturday morning... ;D) and it's working now. I believe the error may had nothing to do with Rapid Miner, it seems that a simple reboot may have solved it . So I apologize for the useless topic).
