[Poster Presentation] Empirical Bayesian Tree

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We propose a new decision tree learning algorithm ``Empirical Bayesian Tree (EBT)'', which models the outputs of a leaf node by a probability distribution and uses the marginal likelihood for a criterion to construct a decision tree.
When we use the exponential family distributions for modeling the outputs, the marginal likelihood can be efficiently calculated by updating sufficient statistics.
By using marginal likelihood, EBT can prune the bisection tree or construct a multi-split tree by splitting a continuous explanatory variable into multiple intervals.
In the EBT framework, not only the Bernoulli distribution for a discriminant task or the Normal distribution for a least squares regression problem, but also the Poisson distribution or the Exponential distribution can be used.
We also examined the Random Forest using EBTs ``Random Empirical Bayesian Trees (REBT)'' .
