1 Decision Trees Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber University of Maryland MARCH 11, 2018 Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 1 / 1

2 Roadmap Classification: machines labeling data for us Last time: naïve Bayes This time: Decision Trees Simple, nonlinear, interpretable Discussion: Which classifier should I use for my problem? Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 2 / 1

3 Decision Trees Trees Suppose that we want to construct a set of rules to represent the data can represent data as a series of if-then statements here, if splits inputs into two categories then assigns value when if statements are nested, structure is called a tree X 1 > 8 True X 1 > 5 False X 2 < - 2 True True False FALSE TRUE X 3 > 0 True False TRUE TRUE FALSE Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 3 / 1

4 Decision Trees Trees Ex: data (X 1,X 2,X 3,Y) with X 1,X 2,X 3 are real, Y Boolean First, see if X 1 > 5: if TRUE, see if X1 > 8 if TRUE, return FALSE if FALSE, return TRUE if FALSE, see if X2 < 2 if TRUE, see if X 3 > 0 if TRUE, return TRUE if FALSE, return FALSE if FALSE, return TRUE True X 1 > 8 True X 1 > 5 False X 2 < - 2 True False FALSE TRUE X 3 > 0 TRUE True False TRUE FALSE Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 4 / 1

5 Decision Trees Trees X 1 > 8 True X 1 > 5 False X 2 < - 2 True True False FALSE TRUE X 3 > 0 True False TRUE TRUE FALSE Example 1: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (1,1,1) Example 2: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (10, 3,0) Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 5 / 1

6 Decision Trees Trees X 1 > 8 True X 1 > 5 False X 2 < - 2 True True False FALSE TRUE X 3 > 0 True False TRUE TRUE FALSE Example 1: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (1,1,1) TRUE Example 2: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (10, 3,0) Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 5 / 1

7 Decision Trees Trees X 1 > 8 True X 1 > 5 False X 2 < - 2 True True False FALSE TRUE X 3 > 0 True False TRUE TRUE FALSE Example 1: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (1,1,1) TRUE Example 2: (X 1,X 2,X 3 ) = (10, 3,0) FALSE Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 5 / 1

8 Decision Trees Trees Terminology: branches: one side of a split leaves: terminal nodes that return values Why trees? trees can be used for regression or classification regression: returned value is a real number classification: returned value is a class unlike linear regression, SVMs, naive Bayes, etc, trees fit local models in large spaces, global models may be hard to fit results may be hard to interpret fast, interpretable predictions Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 6 / 1

9 Decision Trees Example: Predicting Electoral Results 2008 Democratic primary: Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Given historical data, how will a count vote? can extrapolate to state level data might give regions to focus on increasing voter turnout would like to know how variables interact Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 7 / 1

10 Decision Trees Example: Predicting Electoral Results Figure 1: Classification tree for county-level outcomes in the 2008 Democratic Party primary (as of April 16), by Amanada Cox for the New York Times. 3 Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 8 / 1

14 Decision Trees Decision Trees Decision tree representation: Each internal node tests an attribute Each branch corresponds to attribute value Each leaf node assigns a classification How would we represent as a function of X,Y : X AND Y (both must be true) X OR Y (either can be true) X XOR Y (one and only one is true) Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 12 / 1

15 Decision Trees When to Consider Decision Trees Instances describable by attribute-value pairs Target function is discrete valued Disjunctive hypothesis may be required Possibly noisy training data Examples: Equipment or medical diagnosis Credit risk analysis Modeling calendar scheduling preferences Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 13 / 1

16 Learning Decision Trees Top-Down Induction of Decision Trees Main loop: 1. A the best decision attribute for next node 2. Assign A as decision attribute for node 3. For each value of A, create new descendant of node 4. Sort training examples to leaf nodes 5. If training examples perfectly classified, Then STOP, Else iterate over new leaf nodes Which attribute is best? A1=? [29+,35-] [29+,35-] A2=? t f t f [21+,5-] [8+,30-] [18+,33-] [11+,2-] Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 14 / 1

17 Learning Decision Trees Entropy: Reminder 1.0 Entropy(S) p + S is a sample of training examples p is the proportion of positive examples in S p is the proportion of negative examples in S Entropy measures the impurity of S Entropy(S) p log 2 p p log 2 p Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 15 / 1

18 Learning Decision Trees Entropy How spread out is the distribution of S: p ( log 2 p ) + p ( log 2 p ) Entropy(S) p log 2 p p log 2 p Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 16 / 1

19 Learning Decision Trees Information Gain Which feature A would be a more useful rule in our decision tree? Gain(S, A) = expected reduction in entropy due to sorting on A Gain(S, A) Entropy(S) v Values(A) S v S Entropy(S v) A1=?

28 Learning Decision Trees ID3 Algorithm Start at root, look for best attribute Repeat for subtrees at each attribute outcome Stop when information gain is below a threshold Bias: prefers shorter trees (Occam s Razor) a short hyp that fits data unlikely to be coincidence a long hyp that fits data might be coincidence Prevents overfitting (more later) Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 21 / 1

29 Recap Text classification Many commercial applications There are many applications of text classification for corporate Intranets, government departments, and Internet publishers. Often greater performance gains from exploiting domain-specific text features than from changing from one machine learning method to another. Representing features is often a big challenge (e.g., zero mean, standard variance) Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 22 / 1

30 Recap Choosing what kind of classifier to use When building a text classifier, first question: how much training data is there currently available? None? Very little? A fair amount? A huge amount Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 23 / 1

31 Recap Choosing what kind of classifier to use When building a text classifier, first question: how much training data is there currently available? None? Hand write rules or use active learning Very little? A fair amount? A huge amount Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 23 / 1

32 Recap Choosing what kind of classifier to use When building a text classifier, first question: how much training data is there currently available? None? Hand write rules or use active learning Very little? Naïve Bayes A fair amount? A huge amount Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 23 / 1

33 Recap Choosing what kind of classifier to use When building a text classifier, first question: how much training data is there currently available? None? Hand write rules or use active learning Very little? Naïve Bayes A fair amount? SVM (later) A huge amount Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 23 / 1

34 Recap Choosing what kind of classifier to use When building a text classifier, first question: how much training data is there currently available? None? Hand write rules or use active learning Very little? Naïve Bayes A fair amount? SVM (later) A huge amount Doesn t matter, use whatever works Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 23 / 1

35 Recap Recap Is there a learning method that is optimal for all text classification problems? No, because there is a tradeoff between bias and variance. Factors to take into account: How much training data is available? How simple/complex is the problem? (linear vs. nonlinear decision boundary) How noisy is the problem? How stable is the problem over time? For an unstable problem, it s better to use a simple and robust classifier. Data Science: Jordan Boyd-Graber UMD Decision Trees 24 / 1
