Optimal pruning with applications to tree-structured source coding and modeling

Chou, P.A., Lookabaugh, T., Gray, R.M.·1989·IEEE Transactions on Information Theory

Abstract

An algorithm introduced by L. Breiman et al. (1984) in the context of classification and regression trees is reinterpreted and extended to cover a variety of applications in source coding and modeling in which trees are involved. These include variable-rate and minimum-entropy tree-structured vector quantization, minimum expected cost decision trees, variable-order Markov modeling, optimum bit allocation, and computer graphics and image processing using quadtrees. A concentration on the first of these and a detailed analysis of variable-rate tree-structured vector quantization are provided. It is found that variable-rate tree-structured vector quantization outperforms not only the fixed-rate variety but also full-search vector quantization. The successive approximation character of variable-rate tree-structured vector quantization permits it to degrade gracefully if the rate is reduced at the encoder. This has applications to the problem of buffer overflow.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
