چکیده

The application of boosting procedures to de cision tree algorithms has been shown to pro duce very accurate classi ers These classi ers are in the form of a majority vote over a number of decision trees Unfortunately these classi ers are often large complex and di cult to interpret This paper describes a new type of classi cation rule the alternat ing decision tree which is a generalization of decision trees voted decision trees and voted decision stumps At the same time classi ers of this type are relatively easy to interpret We present a learning algorithm for alternat ing decision trees that is based on boosting Experimental results show it is competitive with boosted decision tree algorithms such as C and generates rules that are usually smaller in size and thus easier to interpret In addition these rules yield a natural mea sure of classi cation con dence which can be used to improve the accuracy at the cost of abstaining from predicting examples that are hard to classify

MMDT: Multi-Objective Memetic Rule Learning from Decision Tree

In this article, a Multi-Objective Memetic Algorithm (MA) for rule learning is proposed. Prediction accuracy and interpretation are two measures that conflict with each other. In this approach, we consider accuracy and interpretation of rules sets. Additionally, individual classifiers face other problems such as huge sizes, high dimensionality and imbalance classes’ distribution data sets. This...

دسته‌بندی داده‌های دورده‌ای با ابرمستطیل موازی محورهای مختصات

One of the machine learning tasks is supervised learning. In supervised learning we infer a function from labeled training data. The goal of supervised learning algorithms is learning a good hypothesis that minimizes the sum of the errors. A wide range of supervised algorithms is available such as decision tress, SVM, and KNN methods. In this paper we focus on decision tree algorithms. When we ...

Multiclass Alternating Decision Trees

The alternating decision tree (ADTree) is a successful classification technique that combines decision trees with the predictive accuracy of boosting into a set of interpretable classification rules. The original formulation of the tree induction algorithm restricted attention to binary classification problems. This paper empirically evaluates several wrapper methods for extending the algorithm...
