Accurate probability-based ranking of instances is crucial in many real-world data mining applications. KNN (k-nearest neighbor) [1] has been intensively studied as an effective c...
In this article we show that there is a strong connection between decision tree learning and local pattern mining. This connection allows us to solve the computationally hard probl...
While the decision tree is an effective representation that has been used in many domains, a tree can often encode a concept inefficiently. This happens when the tree has to repres...
This paper presents a novel hybrid method combining genetic programming and decision tree learning. The method starts by estimating a benchmark level of reasonable accuracy, based ...
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...
