An Evolutionary Algorithm for Oblique Decision Tree Induction

In the paper, a new evolutionary approach to induction of oblique decision trees is described. In each non-terminal node, the specialized evolutionary algorithm is applied to search for a splitting hyperplane. The feature selection is embedded into the algorithm, which allows to eliminate redundant and noisy features at each node. The experimental evaluation of the proposed approach is presented on both synthetic and real datasets.
