Introduction to Machine Learning
Decision Trees for Logical Rules
S1 E3:
Can machine learning beat a rhyming rule, taught in elementary school, for determining whether a word is spelled with an I-E or an E-I—as in “diet” and “weigh”? Discover that a decision tree is a convenient tool for approaching this problem. After experimenting, use Python to build a decision tree for predicting the likelihood for an individual to develop diabetes based on eight health factors.
