[comp.ai] Request for references about decision trees

fm@unl.fctunl.rccn.pt (Francisco Menezes) (06/06/89)

We have been working in machine learning algorithms that uses information
theory based computations on training sets to produce decision trees.

We are now interrested in the minimization of costs aproach for building
decision trees, but we have been facing quite a few difficulties in finding
some recent documentations on the subject. Actually, the only reference
we have found is Hunt's Concept Learning System framework (Hunt, Marin
and Stone, 1966).

If anyone is acquainted with the subject, please send me any references
or information about it.
