Abstract

There has been an ongoing proliferation of online articles and other materials on the World Wide Web for e-learning. Although a generic search engine can be used to find materials in a subject domain (for example, computer science,) the search results often have advertising, media, and news mixed in. To improve the search quality, in this study an information search platform based on data mining technology was constructed. Using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), this platform calculates all terms in each web article to automatically filter out non-computer science category keywords and articles. The search platform enables students quickly find and read information in articles for a given set of search keywords. The experimental results show improved learning performance with increased computer science knowledge and concepts and more computer science articles found using the information search platform by filtering out articles in non-computer science categories.
