Standford U’s MAPTree: Redefining Decision Trees – Precision, Speed, and Efficiency Unleashed

In a new paper MAPTree: Beating "Optimal" Decision Trees with Bayesian Decision Trees, a Stanford University research team introduces MAPTree, an algorithm that confidently uncovers the maximum a posteriori tree within Bayesian Classification and Regression Trees (BCART) posterior, achieving strong performance with significantly leaner and faster trees.
