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 ...

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 ...

What is a Decision Tree? A decision tree is a visual and logical model used to guide decision-making or make predictions. It breaks down complex problems into a sequence of simpler choices. Each point ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says the technique is easy to tune, works well with small datasets and produces highly interpretable predictions, but there are also trade-off cons. The goal ...
