Trees and Forests in Nuclear Physics
We present a simple introduction to the decision tree algorithm using some examples from nuclear physics. We show how to improve the accuracy of the classical liquid drop nuclear mass model by performing Feature Engineering with a decision tree. Finally, we apply the method to the Duflo-Zuker model showing that, despite their simplicity, decision trees are capable of improving the description of nuclear masses using a limited number of free parameters.

Trees and Islands -- Machine learning approach to nuclear physics
We implement machine learning algorithms to nuclear data. These algorithms are purely data driven and generate models that are capable to capture intricate trends. Gradient boosted trees algorithm is employed to generate…
BIG-bench Machine LearningBrauer and partition diagram models for phylogenetic trees and forests
We introduce a correspondence between phylogenetic trees and Brauer diagrams, inspired by links between binary trees and matchings described by Diaconis and Holmes (1998). This correspondence gives rise to a range of sem…
Minimax optimal rates for Mondrian trees and forests
Introduced by Breiman, Random Forests are widely used classification and regression algorithms. While being initially designed as batch algorithms, several variants have been proposed to handle online learning. One parti…
Interpreting Tree Ensembles with inTrees
Tree ensembles such as random forests and boosted trees are accurate but difficult to understand, debug and deploy. In this work, we provide the inTrees (interpretable trees) framework that extracts, measures, prunes and…
Future predictionGeneral ClassificationregressionWhen do random forests fail?
Random forests are learning algorithms that build large collections of random trees and make predictions by averaging the individual tree predictions. In this paper, we consider various tree constructions and examine how…
