In this paper, we examine the problem of large-volume data dissemination via overlay networks. A natural way to maximize the throughput of an overlay multicast session is to split...
Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...
A new approach to the induction of multivariate decision trees is proposed. A linear decision function (hyper-plane) is used at each non-terminal node of a binary tree for splittin...
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, ...
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....
