Can I change the input dataset format?
My data is string type.
How can I change integer format to character data type?

Hi,
If you want to do a bit of programming, you could modify the code for reading the input file so that it can read your input format instead of the default format. This should not be difficult if you know a little bit about Java programming. You need to find the class that contains the algorithm that you are interested in and then find the code for reading the file and then modify it.
Otherwise, another way is to write a program to convert your file to the SPMF format and then convert the result back to the format that you want.
Best regards,
Philippe
