  • Systems and methods for generating improved decision trees
    Patent number: 12229226
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a decision tree having a plurality of nodes, arranged hierarchically as parent nodes and child nodes, comprising: generating a node including: receiving i) training data including data instances, each data instance having a plurality of attributes and a corresponding label, ii) instance weightings, iii) a valid domain for each attribute generated, and iv) an accumulated weighted sum of predictions for a branch of the decision tree; and associating one of a plurality of binary prediction of an attribute with each node including selecting the one of the plurality of binary predictions having a least amount of error; in accordance with a determination that the node includes child nodes, repeat the generating the node step for the child nodes; and in accordance with a determination that the node is a terminal node, associating the terminal node with an outcome classifier; and displaying the decision tree including the plurality of nodes arranged hierarchically.
