Function Approximation and Decision tree learning
Function approximation
Problem Setting:
• SetofpossibleinstancesX
• Unknowntargetfunctionf:XàY
• SetoffunctionhypothesesH={h|h:XàY}
superscript: ith training example • Trainingexamples{}ofunknowntargetfunctionf
Output:
• Hypothesish∈Hthatbestapproximatestargetfunctionf
Input:
13

Simple Training Data Set
Day Outlook Temperature Humidity Wind PlayTennis?
A Decision tree for
f: à PlayTennis?
Each internal node: test one discrete-valued attribute Xi Each branch from a node: selects one value for Xi Each leaf node: predict Y (or P(Y|X ∈ leaf))
14

Decision Tree Learning
Problem Setting:
• SetofpossibleinstancesX
– each instance x in X is a feature vector
– e.g., • Unknowntargetfunctionf:XàY
– Y=1 if we play tennis on this day, else 0 • SetoffunctionhypothesesH={h|h:XàY}
– each hypothesis h is a decision tree – trees sorts x to leaf, which assigns y
Decision Tree Learning
Problem Setting:
• SetofpossibleinstancesX
– each instance x in X is a feature vector x = < x1, x2 ... xn>
• Unknowntargetfunctionf:XàY – Y is discrete-valued
• SetoffunctionhypothesesH={h|h:XàY} – each hypothesis h is a decision tree
Input:
• Trainingexamples{}ofunknowntargetfunctionf Output:
• Hypothesish∈Hthatbestapproximatestargetfunctionf

Sample Entropy
17

Entropy
Entropy H(X) of a random variable X
H(X) is the expected number of bits needed to encode a randomly drawn value of X (under most efficient code)
Why? Information theory:
• Most efficient possible code assigns -log2 P(X=i) bits
to encode the message X=i
• So,expectednumberofbitstocodeonerandomXis:
# of possible values for X
Entropy
Entropy H(X) of a random variable X
Specific conditional entropy H(X|Y=v) of X given Y=v :
Conditional entropy H(X|Y) of X given Y :
Mutual information (aka Information Gain) of X and Y :
18

Information Gain is the mutual information between input attribute A and target variable Y
Information Gain is the expected reduction in entropy of target variable Y for data sample S, due to sorting on variable A

Which Tree Should We Output?
• ID3 performs heuristic
search through space of decision trees
• It stops at smallest acceptable tree. Why?
Occam’s razor: prefer the simplest hypothesis that fits the data

Why Prefer Short Hypotheses? (Occam’s Razor) Arguments in favor:
Arguments opposed:
Why Prefer Short Hypotheses? (Occam’s Razor)
Argument in favor:
• Fewershorthypothesesthanlongones
à a short hypothesis that fits the data is less likely to be a statistical coincidence
à highly probable that a sufficiently complex hypothesis will fit the data
Argument opposed:
• Alsofewerhypotheseswithprimenumberofnodes
and attributes beginning with “Z”
• What’ssospecialabout“short”hypotheses?
22

Overfitting
Consider a hypothesis h and its • Error rate over training data: • True error rate over all data:
We say h overfits the training data if Amount of overfitting =

Split data into training and validation set

You should know:
• Wellposedfunctionapproximationproblems: – Instance space, X
– Sample of labeled training data { }
– Hypothesis space, H = { f: XàY }
• Learningisasearch/optimizationproblemoverH – Various objective functions
• minimize training error (0-1 loss)
• among hypotheses that minimize training error, select smallest (?)
• Decisiontreelearning
– Greedy top-down learning of decision trees (ID3, C4.5, …) – Overfitting and tree/rule post-pruning
– Extensions…
Questions to think about (1)
• ID3 and C4.5 are heuristic algorithms that search through the space of decision trees. Why not just do an exhaustive search?
27

Questions to think about (2)
• Consider target function f: ày, where x1 and x2 are real-valued, y is boolean. What is the set of decision surfaces describable with decision trees that use each attribute at most once?
Questions to think about (3)
• Why use Information Gain to select attributes in decision trees? What other criteria seem reasonable, and what are the tradeoffs in making this choice?
28

Questions to think about (4)
• What is the relationship between learning decision trees, and learning IF-THEN rules
