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...
Algorithms for feature selection fall into two broad categories: wrappers that use the learning algorithm itself to evaluate the usefulness of features and filters that evaluate f...
Abstract. Most of the work in Machine Learning assume that examples are generated at random according to some stationary probability distribution. In this work we study the problem...
Abstract. A paper document processing system is an information system component which transforms information on printed or handwritten documents into a computer-revisable form. In ...

Decision trees are a widely used knowledge representation in machine learning. However, one of their main drawbacks is the inherent replication of isomorphic subtrees, as a result...
