: In this paper we consider the vertex ranking problem of weighted trees. We show that this problem is strongly NP-hard. We also give a polynomial-time reduction from the problem o...
The coding by which chromosomes represent candidate solutions is a fundamental design choice in a genetic algorithm. This paper describes a novel coding of spanning trees in a gen...
We consider a model of random trees similar to the split trees of Devroye [30] in which a set of items is recursively partitioned. Our model allows for more flexibility in the cho...
We consider three natural models of random logarithmic depth decision trees over Boolean variables. We give an efficient algorithm that for each of these models learns all but an ...
Abstract: We examine a new approach to building decision tree by introducing a geometric splitting criterion, based on the properties of a family of metrics on the space of partiti...
