Inferring a decision tree from a given dataset is one of the classic problems in machine learning. This problem consists of buildings, from a labelled dataset, a tree such that each node corresponds to a class and a path between the tree…
Deep learning has recently demonstrated its ability to rival the human brain for visual object recognition. As datasets get larger, a natural question to ask is if existing deep learning architectures can be extended to handle the 50+K…
In this paper, we consider decision trees that use both queries based on one attribute each and queries based on hypotheses about values of all attributes. Such decision trees are similar to ones studied in exact learning, where not only…
Using Machine Learning systems in the real world can often be problematic, with inexplicable black-box models, the assumed certainty of imperfect measurements, or providing a single classification instead of a probability distribution. This…
Polytrees are a subclass of Bayesian networks that seek to capture the conditional dependencies between a set of $n$ variables as a directed forest and are motivated by their more efficient inference and improved interpretability. Since the…
Motivation: Many inference tools use the Perfect Phylogeny Model (PPM) to learn trees from noisy variant allele frequency (VAF) data. Learning in this setting is hard, and existing tools use approximate or heuristic algorithms. An…
