An interactive-graphic environment for automatic generation of decision trees

摘要

In this paper, a computerized assistant for the construction of decision trees is described. With this system, designers of automatic tree building algorithms can quickly and easily evaluate new algorithmic designs for solving specific decision problems. A generic algorithmic template, which is initialized by the designer of algorithms with his(her) own formulas, is the basic mechanism for creating new tree building algorithms. These algorithms can then be tested on different decision problems, using the interactive-graphic environment provided by the system.
