Unsupervised On-line Learning of Decision Trees for Hierarchical Data Analysis

 Marcus Held and Joachim M. Buhmann
  
 

Abstract:
An adaptive on--line algorithm is proposed to estimate hierarchical data structures for for non--stationary data sources. The approach is based on the principle of minimum cross entropy to derive a decision tree for data clustering and on a metalearning (learning of learning) idea to adapt to changing data characteristics. Its efficiency is demonstrated by grouping non--stationary artifical data and by hierarchical segmentation of LANDSAT images.
