Abstract:
Knowledge discovery process is one of the key activities in improving the quality of a system. This paper presents a custom approach for improving the quality of a knowledge discovery process based on information gain computing. The baseline knowledge discovery process is based of M Trees and is used to cluster learners from an e-Learning environment based on parameters representing performed activities. The baseline process is improved by assigning weights to each parameters according with the information gain computed for each parameter.
