We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Clustering, or unsupervised classification, has many uses in fields that depend on grouping results from large amount of data, an example being the N-body cosmological simulation ...
