Personality mining method in web based education system using data mining

Web based education has become the new growth point of education development and primary developing trend of modern education technology. To meet the personalized needs of web based education; an improved association mining rule was proposed in the paper. First, data cube from database was established. Then, frequent item-set that satisfies the minimum support on data cube was mined out. Furthermore, association rules of frequent item-set were generated. Finally, redundant association rules through the relative method in statistics were wiped off. The algorithm had two advantages, and the first was that the execution time was short while searching for the frequent item-set; the second was that the precision of the rules was high. The algorithm was also used in personality mining system based on web based education model. The result manifested that the algorithm was effective.
