چکیده

Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Over the years, additional methodologies have been investigated and proposed to deal with continuousor multi-valueddata, and with missing or noisy features. Recently, with the growing popularity of fuzzy representation, a few researchers independently have proposed to utilize fuzzy representation in decision trees to deal with similar situations. Fuzzy representation bridges the gap between symbolic and non-symbolic data by linking qualitatitive linguistic terms with quantitative data. In this paper, we overview our fuzzy decision tree and propose a few new inferences based on exemplar learn-

Fuzzy min-max neural network based decision trees

This paper presents a new decision tree learning algorithm, fuzzy min-max decision tree (FMMDT) based on fuzzy min-max neural networks. In contrast with traditional decision trees in which a single attribute is selected as the splitting test, the internal nodes of the proposed algorithm contain a fuzzy min-max neural network. In the proposed learning algorithm, the exibility inherent in the fuz...

Fuzzy-Rough Feature Significance for Fuzzy Decision Trees

Crisp decision trees are one of the most popular classification algorithms in current use within data mining and machine learning. However, although they possess many desirable features, they lack the ability to model vagueness. As a result of this, the induction of fuzzy decision trees (FDTs) has become an area of much interest. One important aspect of tree induction is the choice of feature a...
