  1. The I and II represent the classification algorithms and regression algorithms; The “restricted” means that some modules of the tool are limited to the public or need the permits of the developers; The “low” coupling means that the main modules of the tool can be called in the modelling pipelining and can also be used as an independent tool, while the “high” coupling means that they must work together to build a model
