The goal of a machine learning regression problem is to predict a single numeric value. For example, you might want to predict the annual income of a person based on their sex (male or female), age, ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says the technique is easy to tune, works well with small datasets and produces highly interpretable predictions, but there are also trade-off cons. The goal ...
