The Machine Learning Abstracts: Decision Trees

Decision Tree Learning is a classic algorithm used in machine learning for classification and regression purposes. The basic intuition behind a decision tree is to map out all possible decision paths in the form of a tree. A tree showing survival of passengers on the Titanic ("sibsp" is the number of spouses or siblings aboard). Let us try to analyze and deeply understand decision trees using our Spring cleaning example we talked about in the previous part about classification. Let's see how we go about the process of constructing a decision tree.
