Decision Tree

The document discusses decision trees, which are diagrams that help determine a course of action or show statistical probabilities through branching decisions. A decision tree for identifying vegetables from a bag first divides them by color, then characteristic like taste, and finally size, with each level of the tree representing further divisions of the data set. Decision trees are a commonly used machine learning algorithm that takes input data and divides it into categories like positive or negative.

Decision Tree

Life is all about making decisions. We keep on making decisions in our day to day activities
like whether to go to school or not. Whether to have breakfast or not. This phenomenon has
influenced a wide area of machine learning and decision tree is a widely used algorithm in
making decisions.

A decision tree is a tree-shaped diagram that people use to determine a course of action or
show a statistical probability. Each branch of the tree represents a possible decision,
occurrence, or reaction. The decision
tree will have a root node and other
nodes are called child nodes.

Let us consider that you are asked to


identify random veggies from the
vegetable bag. One way of dividing the
veggies is to first look at the color of the
vegetable and divide them. Next, you
look at the characteristic like the taste
and then u look at the size.

This is called a decision tree. Here data


set is color, characteristic, and size.

So, our machine learning model will take the utterances as input data and uses a decision tree
algorithm to divide the data into positive or negative.
