This chapter introduces the concept of learning style and Memletics learning style inventory, and uses open-source data mining software WEKA to cluster the students of experiment classes in four high schools according to the values of seven dimensions in the Memletics learning style inventory that are calculated based on the survey result about their learning styles. The clustering result demonstrates that verbal and physical are always positively associated with exam scores, visual dimension usually has negative association with score exams; the association of learning style with exam scores remains almost static, and the high, medium, and low sum of dimension values of learning style corresponds to high schools in developed, developing, and undeveloped area in China, respectively. The findings are analyzed. The implication of learning style for intelligent instruction of English subject as a foreign language is suggested.

Data mining is likely to explore hidden patterns from the huge quantity of data and provides a way of analyzing and categorizing the data. Associative classification (AC) is an integration of two data mining tasks, association rule mining, and classification which is used to classify the unknown data. Though association rule mining techniques are successfully utilized to construct classifiers, it lacks in generating a small set of significant class association rules (CARs) to build an accurate associative classifier. In this work, an attempt is made to generate significant CARs using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, an optimization technique to construct an efficient associative classifier. Associative classifier, thus built using ABC discovered CARs achieve high prognostic accurateness and interestingness value. Promising results were provided by the ABC based AC when experiments were conducted using health care datasets from the UCI machine learning repository.

Data mining has great contributions to the healthcare such as support for effective treatment, healthcare management, customer relation management, fraud and abuse detection and decision making. The common data mining methods used in healthcare are Artificial Neural Network, Decision trees, Genetic Algorithms, Nearest neighbor method, Logistic regression, Fuzzy logic, Fuzzy based Neural Networks, Bayesian Networks and Support Vector Machines. The most used task is classification. Because of the complexity and toughness of medical domain, data mining is not an easy task to accomplish. In addition, privacy and security of patient data is a big issue to deal with because of the sensitivity of healthcare data. There exist additional serious challenges. This chapter is a descriptive study aimed to provide an acquaintance to data mining and its usage and applications in healthcare domain. The use of Data mining in healthcare informatics and challenges will be examined.

Data mining is a technique that aims to analyze and understand large source data reveal knowledge hidden in the data. It has been viewed as an important evolution in information processing. Why there have been more attentions to it from researchers or businessmen is due to the wide availability of huge amounts of data and imminent needs for turning such data into valuable information. During the past decade or over, the concepts and techniques on data mining have been presented, and some of them have been discussed in higher levels for the last few years. Data mining involves an integration of techniques from database, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, knowledge engineering, object-oriented method, information retrieval, high-performance computing and visualization. Essentially, data mining is high-level analysis technology and it has a strong purpose for business profiting. Unlike OLTP applications, data mining should provide in-depth data analysis and the supports for business decisions.
