This chapter reports five experiences in successfully applying different data mining techniques in a hotdip galvanizing line. Engineers working in steelmaking have traditionally built mathematical models either for their processes or products using classical techniques. Their need to continuously cut costs down while increasing productivity and product quality is now pushing the industry into using data mining techniques so as to gain deeper insights into their manufacturing processes. The authors’ work was aimed at extracting hidden knowledge from massive data bases in order to improve the existing control systems. The results obtained, though small at first glance, lead to huge savings at such high volume production environment. The effective solutions provided by the use of data mining techniques along these projects encourages the authors to continue applying this data driven approach to frequent hard-to-solve problems in the steel industry.

Agriculture sector in India is facing rigorous problem to maximize crop productivity. More than 60 percent of the crop still depends on climatic factors like rainfall, temperature, humidity. This paper discusses the use of various Data Mining applications in agriculture sector. Data Mining is used to solve various problems in agriculture sector. It can be used it to solve yield prediction.  The problem of yield prediction is a major problem that remains to be solved based on available data. Data mining techniques are the better choices for this purpose. Different Data Mining techniques are used and evaluated in agriculture for estimating the future year's crop production. In this paper we have focused on predicting crop yield productivity of kharif & Rabi Crops.

Psychological research centers help indirectly contact professionals from the fields of human life, job environment, family life, and psychological infrastructure for psychiatric patients. This research aims to detect job apathy patterns from the behavior of employee groups in the University of Baghdad and the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This investigation presents an approach using data mining techniques to acquire new knowledge and differs from statistical studies in terms of supporting the researchers’ evolving needs. These techniques manipulate redundant or irrelevant attributes to discover interesting patterns. The principal issue identifies several important and affective questions taken from a questionnaire, and the psychiatric researchers recommend these questions. Useless questions are pruned using the attribute selection method. Moreover, pieces of information gained through these questions are measured according to a specific class and ranked accordingly. Association and a priori algorithms are used to detect the most influential and interrelated questions in the questionnaire. Consequently, the decisive parameters that may lead to job apathy are determined.
