Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Most of the methods that generate decision trees use examples of data instances in the decision tree generation process. This paper proposes a method called "RBDT-1"- rule based decision tree - for learning a decision tree from a set of decision rules that cover the data instances rather than from the data instances themselves. RBDT-1 method uses a set of declarative rules as an input for generating a decision tree. The method's goal is to create on-demand a short and accurate decision tree from a stable or dynamically changing set of rules. We conduct a comparative study of RBDT-1 with three existing decision tree methods based on different problems. The outcome of the study shows that RBDT-1 performs better than AQDT-1 and AQDT-2 which are methods that create decision trees from rules and than ID3 which generates decision trees from data examples, in terms of tree complexity number of nodes and leaves in the decision tree.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
