Occupational injuries and fatalities are one of the most significant issues in the construction industry. Variables, such as workers’ behavior, age, worksite condition, and type of activity, play key roles in the occurrence of construction accidents. In recent years, data mining techniques have been successfully used not only in health, economy, and social sciences but also in construction-related fields. In this study, C5.0 decision tree algorithm was used to analyze the accident data obtained from the Social Security Institution of Turkey. A classification tree model was created to discover the associations between the attributes. The results show the relationship between the injury status of workers and the attributes, and the accuracy rate of the model was 70.26%. Meanwhile, according to findings, unsafe conditions, type of accident, and activity type were the most important attributes in the model. Furthermore, the predictor importance of the attributes was compared, and several outcomes were discovered; for instance, the workers’ educational background has greater predictive power than age. On the other hand, the branches of the decision tree pointed out several attribute sequences due to their high rated serious/fatal injury rates. The results of this study can be used in the prevention and mitigation strategies for construction accidents.

C4.5 algorithm is a decision tree algorithm group. This algorithm has input in the form of training samples and samples. While samples are data fields which we will use as parameters in classifying data. From the variable transaction frequency the company can see which customers are loyal to the company based on historical customer transaction data, but there are still some variables that make customers loyal to the company. These variables are age, customer gender, company sales gender, educational background, customer  transaction frequency. The company knows how to predict customers who will be loyal to the company based on the experience of some of the variables above, but the company does not know the most influential variable in the assessment of loyal customers because of some of the variables above are not interconnected and it is uncertain if one variable can make a decision whether the customer loyal. Based on the decision tree that has made the most influential attribute on customer loyalty is the educational background because it has the highest gain value of 1.545292721 and as the root of the decision tree while the client's gender does not significantly affect customer loyalty because it is always at the last node with the gain value which is 0.623919119.

Based on inter-correlation and permeability among disciplines, the author makes an attempt to apply the information science to cognitive linguistics to provide a new perspective for the study of foreign languages. The correlation between self-efficacy and such four factors as anxiety, learning strategies, motivation and learners’ past achievement is analyzed by means of data mining and the extent to which the above factors affect self-efficacy in language learning is explored in this paper. The paper employs the decision tree algorithm in SPSS Clementine. C5.0 decision tree algorithm is adopted to analyze data in the study. The results are elicited from the researches carried out in this paper. The increased anxiety is bound to weaken learners’ motivation over time. It is obvious that learners have low self-efficacy. It is very important to employ strategies in foreign language learning. Ignorance of using learning strategies may result in unplanned learning with unsatisfactory achievements in spite of more efforts involved. Self-efficacy in foreign language learning may be weakened accordingly. Learners’ past achievement is a reference dimension in measuring self-efficacy with weaker influence.
