Bit misleading title as in the 80'd descision trees were concidered part of the discipline of AI, and you today might be surprised that machine learning was considered a diffetent discipline. This was the result of scientific kerfuffls about funding.
In practice many of us in the 'Nouvelle AI" movement that countered the ruling Symbolic AI paradigm (GOFAI was the commonn slur) had at least one foot in the ML, EA. And alife spaces as once you abandon symbolics straight programming becomes awkward fast.
- YeGoblynQueenne 2y agoTrue. The program in the article is an expert system, not a decision tree learner. The confusion probably stems from the fact that decision tree learners are (still?) a very popular machine learning algorithm; and because most people who are into AI and ML today don't know anything about its past. And what happens to those who don't remember the past? Ask George Santayana.
