Decision Tree Instability and Active Learning
Decision tree learning algorithms produce accurate models that can be interpreted by domain experts. However, these algorithms are known to be unstable – they can produce drastic...

CMP: A Fast Decision Tree Classifier Using Multivariate Predictions
Most decision tree classifiers are designed to keep class histograms for single attributes, and to select a particular attribute for the next split using said histograms. In this ...

Slim-Trees: High Performance Metric Trees Minimizing Overlap Between Nodes
In this paper we present the Slim-tree, a dynamic tree for organizing metric datasets in pages of fixed size. The Slim-tree uses the "fat-factor" which provides a simple ...

Minimum Splits Based Discretization for Continuous Features
Discretization refers to splitting the range of continuous values into intervals so as to provide useful information about classes. This is usually done by minimizing a goodness m...

Generating Better Decision Trees
A new decision tree learning algorithm called IDX is described. More general than existing algorithms, IDX addresses issues of decision tree quality largely overlooked in the arti...
