I had the exact same reaction: biology or computers? The only hint I can see anywhere on the page is "Statistics > Machine Learning" above the abstract title.

I had the exact same reaction: biology or computers?
The only hint I can see anywhere on the page is "Statistics > Machine Learning" above the abstract title.
I really want it to be about actual biological trees being studied on the scale of forests growing with smooth edges over long periods of time, but I suspect that's not what it is about.
- bonoboTP 2y agoThere's also "Subjects: Machine Learning (stat.ML); Machine Learning (cs.LG)" Also, the very first sentence of the actual paper (after the abstract) is > Random forests (Breiman, 2001) have emerged as one of the most reliable off-the-shelf supervised learning algorithms [...] arxiv.org is overwhelmingly used for math and computer science papers, though not exclusively. The paper will also likely be submitted to a machine learning venue.
- ibgeek 2y agoBiological trees don’t make predictions. Second or third sentence contains the phrase “randomized tree ensembles not only make predictions.”
