Current joint project with Intel is related with construction of decision trees and decision rule systems for large data tables and with increasing of structural stability and accuracy of decision trees.

As we know, our algorithms are used in Intel for analysis of manufacturing statistical data.

First result in this direction was obtained in UNN in 1982 (the existence of decision trees with polynomial depth for some NP-hard problems with fixed dimension).
