Application of data mining in e-Leaming systems

E-learning represents a new context of education that continuously generates large amounts of information that describe the continuity of interaction between learning and teaching. However, an abundance of available information is an exponentially growing problem, because unstructured and uncontrolled information may be obsolete or incorrect, and their amount congests the education system without providing any articulated knowledge. Data Mining is a process that uses statistical and mathematical procedures, techniques of artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify and extract useful information and subsequent knowledge from large databases to its participants and is a suitable tool for solving the problem of “information overload”. In this paper, the application of the data mining methods on the classification of the natural language sentences is presented.
