Decision Tree

Category: science

A visual flowchart-style model used for making decisions and classifying data.

It works like a game of 20 questions. "Is income > $50k?" (Yes/No) -> "Has claims history?" (Yes/No). It is highly visual and intuitive. You can print it out and show a human business leader exactly how the AI reached a decision.

Common Examples

• The decision tree structure allowed our non-technical staff to understand the criteria used in our automated lead-scoring process.
• While simple, a decision tree can be prone to overfitting, which is why we often prefer a Random Forest ensemble approach instead.
