What it does
Orange is a data mining and visualization program. Instead of writing code, you build a workflow by dragging blocks onto a canvas and linking them: load data, clean it, chart it, and train machine-learning models such as decision trees.
Its makers say it needs no programming or deep maths knowledge, and it is designed for beginners and experts alike. Add-ons extend it for more specialized tasks.
Who it's for
Students, teachers, researchers and analysts who want to explore data and machine learning visually.
