On Conditional Branches in Optimal Decision Trees
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...

Partitioning Nominal Attributes in Decision Trees
To find the optimal branching of a nominal attribute at a node in an L-ary decision tree, one is often forced to search over all possible L-ary partitions for the one that yields t...

A Fast, Bottom-Up Decision Tree Pruning Algorithm with Near-Optimal Generalization
In this work, we present a new bottom-up algorithmfor decision tree pruning that is very e cient requiring only a single pass through the given tree, and prove a strong performanc...

Lookahead-based algorithms for anytime induction of decision trees
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, ...

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, ...
