Deep forest

Current deep-learning models are mostly built upon neural networks, i.e. multiple layers of parameterized differentiable non-linear modules that can be trained by backpropagation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of building deep models based on non-differentiable modules such as decision trees. After a discussion about the mystery behind deep neural networks, particularly by contrasting them with shallow neural networks and traditional machine-learning techniques such as decision trees and boosting mac…

Current reading — gain

Decision-tree ensemble approach called deep forest achieves excellent performance across different domains using the same default setting while requiring fewer hyper-parameters and automatically determining model complexity without gradient-based adjustment or backpropagation.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0205 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
