Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Dynamic regression trees are an attractive option for automatic regression and classification with complicated response surfaces in on-line application settings. We create a sequential tree model whose state changes in time with the accumulation of new data, and provide particle learning algorithms that allow for the efficient on-line posterior filtering of tree-states. A major advantage of tree regression is that it allows for the use of very simple models within each partition. The model also facilitates a natural division of labor in our sequential particle-based inference: tree dynamics are defined through a few potential changes that are local to each newly arrived observation, while global uncertainty is captured by the ensemble of particles. We consider both constant and linear mean functions at the tree leaves, along with multinomial leaves for classification problems, and propose default prior specifications that allow for prediction to be integrated over all model parameters conditional on a given tree. Inference is illustrated in some standard nonparametric regression examples, as well as in the setting of sequential experiment design, including both active learning and optimization applications, and in on-line classification. We detail implementation guidelines and problem specific methodology for each of these motivating applications. Throughout, it is demonstrated that our practical approach is able to provide better results compared to commonly used methods at a fraction of the cost.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
