'Ahmed Moustafa'] Purpose Classification is an important and widely used machine learning technique in bioinformatics. Researchers and other end-users of machine learning software often prefer to work with comprehensible models where knowledge extraction and explanation of reasoning behind the classification model are…

The ITree tool allows us to fully control the output of the Decision Tree (DT), its structure, as well as the induction process. In [btae273-F1], we present the main view of the ITree website, while the rest of the elements (C-E) are dialog windows that may appear based on user activity. At the top of the ITree website…

A new two-stage method for the construction of a decision tree is developed. The first stage is based on the definition of a minimum query set, which is the smallest set of attribute-value pairs for which any two objects can be distinguished. To obtain this set, an appropriate linear programming model is proposed. The…

'Khaled A. Elsayad'] Substances that do not degrade over time have proven to be harmful to the environment and are dangerous to living organisms. Being able to predict the biodegradability of substances without costly experiments is useful. Recently, the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models have…

'Siegfried Nijssen'] This article provides a birds-eye view on the role of decision trees in machine learning and data science over roughly four decades. It sketches the evolution of decision tree research over the years, describes the broader context in which the research is situated, and summarizes strengths and…

The aim of this study is to explore whether matrices and MP trees used to produce systematic categories of organisms could be useful to produce categories of ideas in history of science. We study the history of the use of trees in systematics to represent the diversity of life from 1766 to 1991. We apply to those ideas…

Building Single Sample Predictors (SSPs) from gene expression profiles presents challenges, notably due to the lack of calibration across diverse gene expression measurement technologies. However, recent research indicates the viability of classifying phenotypes based on the order of expression of multiple genes.…

Background Gene expression data classification is a challenging task due to the large dimensionality and very small number of samples. Decision tree is one of the popular machine learning approaches to address such classification problems. However, the existing decision tree algorithms use a single gene feature at each…

The decision tree is one of the most effective tools for deriving meaningful outcomes from image data acquired from the visual sensors. Owing to its reliability, superior generalization abilities, and easy implementation, the tree model has been widely used in various applications. However, in image classification…

Hypertension is a chronic disease and major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that often leads to damage to target organs. The prevention and treatment of hypertension is crucially important for human health. In this paper, a novel ensemble method based on a flexible neural tree (FNT) is…

Mensuration of tree growth habits is of considerable importance for understanding forest ecosystem processes and forest biophysical responses to climate changes. However, the complexity of tree crown morphology that is typically formed after many years of growth tends to render it a non-trivial task, even for the…

'Brendan O’Flynn'] Human activity recognition (HAR) has become an increasingly popular application of machine learning across a range of domains. Typically the HAR task that a machine learning algorithm is trained for requires separating multiple activities such as walking, running, sitting, and falling from each…

In recent studies, latent class tree (LCT) modeling has been proposed as a convenient alternative to standard latent class (LC) analysis. Instead of using an estimation method in which all classes are formed simultaneously given the specified number of classes, in LCT analysis a hierarchical structure of mutually…

Failing to distinguish between a sheepdog and a skyscraper should be worse and penalized more than failing to distinguish between a sheepdog and a poodle; after all, sheepdogs and poodles are both breeds of dogs. However, existing metrics of failure (so-called “loss” or “win”) used in textual or visual…

'Bernard De Baets'] Background Machine learning techniques have shown to improve bacterial species classification based on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) data. Nonetheless, FAME analysis has a limited resolution for discrimination of bacteria at the species level. In this paper, we approach the species classification…
