Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

A decision tree is a machine learning technique that can be used for binary classification or multi-class classification. A binary classification problem is one where the goal is to predict the value ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says decision trees are useful for relatively small datasets and when the trained model must be easily interpretable, but often don't work well with large ...
