Reviews: Partitioning Structure Learning for Segmented Linear Regression Trees

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Originality: The paper is fairly original in that it proposes a new tree-splitting criterion that seems to work very well when the leaves are linear models rather than constants. It also provides a novel application of several pieces of previous work, including LASSO and random forests. There are adequate citations of related work. Quality: I did not carefully check the math or read the proofs in the supplemental material, but I did not observe any technical mistakes. There is not much discussion of the limitations of their approach.
