Best-first Decision Tree Learning
Decision trees are potentially powerful predictors and explicitly represent the structure of a dataset. Standard decision tree learners such as C4.5 expand nodes in depth-first ...
Solving Multiclass Learning Problems via Error-Correcting Output Codes
Multiclass learning problems involve finding a definitionfor an unknown function f(x) whose range is a discrete setcontaining k > 2 values (i.e., k ``classes''). Thedefinitio...
Machine Learning Bias, Statistical Bias, and Statistical Variance of Decision Tree Algorithms
The term "bias" is widely used---and with different meanings---in the fields of machine learning and statistics. This paper clarifies the uses of this term and...
A Communication-Efficient Parallel Algorithm for Decision Tree
Decision tree (and its extensions such as Gradient Boosting Decision Trees and Random Forest) is a widely used machine learning algorithm, due to its practical effectiveness and...
