The main task in decision tree construction algorithms is to find the "best partition" of the set of objects. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal binary ...
This work proposes a simple approximation scheme for discrete data that leads to an infinitely smooth result without global optimization. It combines the flexibility of Binary Sp...

The decision tree is one of the most fundamental ing abstractions. A commonly used type of decision tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) &quo...
We present an algorithm, called the offset tree, for learning in situations where a loss associated with different decisions is not known, but was randomly probed. The algorithm i...
Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiples random variables. The problem of efficient representati...
