OPTIMAL CONSTRAINED MULTIWAY SPLIT CLASSIFICATION TREE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899534 titled 'OPTIMAL CONSTRAINED MULTIWAY SPLIT CLASSIFICATION TREE

Simplified Explanation

The computer-implemented machine learning method involves accessing a decision tree associated with a path-based machine learning model, splitting the decision tree into multiple multiway decision trees in a path-based formulation, and solving a problem using one or more of these decision trees through a mixed-integer program (MIPS).

  • Each decision tree in the plurality has an attribute that does not repeat within the tree.
  • The decision rules of the decision tree are mapped using a mixed-integer program (MIPS).

Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented machine learning method includes accessing a decision tree associated with a path-based machine learning model. The decision tree is split into a plurality of multiway decision trees in a path-based formulation, each of the plurality of decision trees having an attribute not occurring more than once in each of the plurality of decision trees. A problem associated with the machine learning model is solved using one or more of the plurality of decision trees in which one or more decision rules of the decision tree are mapped using a mixed-integer program (MIPS).
