Whereas the strategy still employed nowadays is to use a 'generic' decision-tree induction algorithm regardless of the data, the authors argue on the benefits that a bias-fitting strategy could bring to decision-tree induction, in which the ultimate goal is the automatic generation of a decision-tree induction algorithm tailored to the application domain of interest. For such, they discuss how one can effectively discover the most suitable set of components of decision-tree induction algorithms to deal with a wide variety of applications through the paradigm of evolutionary computation, following the emergence of a novel field called hyper-heuristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Automatic Design of Decision-Tree Induction Algorithms\"\u003c\/i\u003e would be highly useful for machine learning and evolutionary computation students and researchers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-03-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319142302\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-14231-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548511002764,"sku":"9783319142302","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319142302.jpg?v=1776881587","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319142302","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
