Very Fast C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm

This paper presents a novel algorithm so-called VFC4.5 for building decision trees. It proposes an adaptation of the way C4.5 finds the threshold of a continuous attribute. Instead of finding the threshold that maximizes gain ratio, the paper proposes to simply reduce the number of candidate cut poi...
