AI::Categorizer::Learner::DecisionTree - Decision Tree Learner

  use AI::Categorizer::Learner::DecisionTree;
  
  # Here $k is an AI::Categorizer::KnowledgeSet object
  
  my $l = new AI::Categorizer::Learner::DecisionTree(...parameters...);
  $l->train(knowledge_set => $k);
  $l->save_state('filename');
  
  ... time passes ...
  
  $l = AI::Categorizer::Learner->restore_state('filename');
  while (my $document = ... ) {  # An AI::Categorizer::Document object
    my $hypothesis = $l->categorize($document);
    print "Best assigned category: ", $hypothesis->best_category, "\n";
  }

This class implements a Decision Tree machine learner, using "AI::DecisionTree" to do the internal work.

This class inherits from the "AI::Categorizer::Learner" class, so all of its methods are available unless explicitly mentioned here.

Creates a new DecisionTree Learner and returns it.

Trains the categorizer. This prepares it for later use in categorizing documents. The "knowledge_set" parameter must provide an object of the class "AI::Categorizer::KnowledgeSet" (or a subclass thereof), populated with lots of documents and categories. See AI::Categorizer::KnowledgeSet for the details of how to create such an object.

Returns an "AI::Categorizer::Hypothesis" object representing the categorizer's "best guess" about which categories the given document should be assigned to. See AI::Categorizer::Hypothesis for more details on how to use this object.

Saves the categorizer for later use. This method is inherited from "AI::Categorizer::Storable".
