Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Machine learning (ML) models and algorithms may be used to ge nerate a prediction, classification,and/or other type of output based on input data. Decision trees are a prominent type of ML model. Ingeneral, a decision tr ee is a supervised learning method used for classification and regression. A dec ision tree may be an ML model configured to predict the value of a target variab le by learning simple decisionrules inferred from data features used to build a nd/or train the decision tree. As such, decision treesmay provide a condition-b ased model for predicting an outcome, for example, configured as a series of ifthen-else statements providing a decision boundary to predict a given outcome.
