The paper introduces DICS, a clustering-based framework that uses data-informed priors to construct a compact set of candidate splits for decision tree classifiers. By incorporating class-aware structure, DICS reduces the split search space, preserving predictive performance while cutting training time. The authors provide theoretical analysis and experimental results showing comparable accuracy to exhaustive search across synthetic and benchmark datasets.
arXiv:2606. 14592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustering is widely used for exploratory analysis and scientific discovery, driving insights from market segmentation to biological data analysis, but its outputs can be difficult to interpret, audit, and reproduce as modern datasets become increasingly large and complex.
