Using Decision Trees to Construct a Practical Parser
This paper describes novel and practical Japanese parsers that uses decision trees. First, we construct a single decision tree to estimate modification probabilities; how one phra...

Decision Tree Module Within Decision Support Simulation System
Decision trees are one of the most easy to use tools in decision analysis. Problems where decision tree branches are based on random variables have not received much attention. Th...

Introducing Local Optimization for Effective Initialization and Crossover of Genetic Decision Trees
We introduce a new genetic operator, Reduction, that rectifies decision trees not correct syntactically and at the same time removes the redundant sections within, while preservin...

Decision Tree Extraction from Trained Neural Networks
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have proved both a popular and powerful technique for pattern recognition tasks in a number of problem domains. However, the adoption of ANNs in ...

Inducing Fuzzy Decision Trees in Non-Deterministic Domains using CHAID
Most decision tree induction methods used for extracting knowledge in classification problems are unable to deal with uncertainties embedded within the data, associated with human...

Morphological Richness Offsets Resource Demand - Experiences in Constructing a POS Tagger for Hindi
In this paper we report our work on building a POS tagger for a morphologically rich language- Hindi. The theme of the research is to vindicate the stand that- if morphology is st...

When a Decision Tree Learner Has Plenty of Time
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...

A general framework for estimating similarity of datasets and decision trees: exploring semantic similarity of decision trees
Decision trees are among the most popular pattern types in data mining due to their intuitive representation. However, little attention has been given on the definition of measure...

Decision Tree Ensemble: Small Heterogeneous Is Better Than Large Homogeneous
Using decision trees that split on randomly selected attributes is one way to increase the diversity within an ensemble of decision trees. Another approach increases diversity by ...

A Robust Decision Tree Algorithm for Imbalanced Data Sets
We propose a new decision tree algorithm, Class Confidence Proportion Decision Tree (CCPDT), which is robust and insensitive to class distribution and generates rules which are st...
