Based on the [|concept learning] by [|Earl B. Hunt] as used in [|decision tree learning], Ross Quinlan invented the tree induction algorithms [|Iterative Dichotomiser 3] (ID3) and their successors [|C4.5], and C5.0. One application of these algorithms is to discover classifications rules for chess endgames, as shown with KRKN and ID3 in //Learning efficient classification procedures and their application to chess end games//. || toc =Selected Publications= >
