Data-mining is a kind of solution for solving the problem of information exploding. Classification and prediction belong to the most fundamental tasks in data-mining field. Many experiments have showed that the results of ensemble of learning methods are generally better than those of single learning methods under most of the time. In the sense,it is of great value to introduce ensemble of learning methods to data mining. This paper introduces data mining and ensemble of learning methods respectively,along with the analysis and formulation about the role ensemble of learning methods can act in some important practicing aspects of data mining:Text mining,multi-media information mining and web mining.
