OPTIMAL INTERPRETABLE DECISION TREES USING INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES

Abstract:

Aspects of the invention include an optimal interpretable decision tree using integer linear programming techniques. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a processor, a plurality of data inputs from a process and selecting, using the processor, a data subset from the plurality of data inputs by solving linear programming to obtain a solution. The method builds and optimizes, using the processor, an optimal decision tree based on the data subset and alerts, using the processor, a user when a prediction of the optimal decision tree is greater than a threshold value.
