Abstract: This study presents the development of a novel integrated data fusion and assimilation technique to classify learning experiences and patterns among deaf students using Fleming’s model together with Thai Sign Language. Data were collected from students with hearing disabilities (Grades 7–9) studying at special schools in Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, Thailand. This research used six classification algorithms with data being resynthesized and improved via the application of feature selection, and the imbalanced data corrected using the synthetic minority oversampling technique. The collection of data from deaf students was evaluated using a 10-fold validation. This revealed that the multi-layer perceptron algorithm yields the highest accuracy. These research results are intended for application in further studies involving imbalanced data problems.
