00:00welcome to day 14 of wisdom academy ai my incredible wizards i'm anastasia your thrilled
00:10ai guide and i'm so excited to be here today have you ever wondered how ai can make decisions like
00:15a human splitting choices into simple yes or no paths we're diving into decision trees and
00:21random forests powerful tools for classification i've brought my best friend sophia to share the
00:26magic decision trees are our focus today and i'm so excited they're a supervised machine learning
00:36algorithm used for classification tasks in ai they have a tree structure with nodes branches and leaves
00:42guiding decisions step by step they split data based on feature conditions like age or income
00:48to classify for example they can classify customers as churn or not based on their features it's a
00:55simple magical decision making tool i'm thrilled to explore it
00:58why use decision trees let's find out i'm so thrilled they're easy to understand and visualize
01:09making them great for beginners in ai they work for both classification and regression tasks
01:15offering versatility and modeling they handle non-linear relationships in data capturing complex
01:20patterns effectively for example they can predict if a loan is risky helping banks decide decision
01:26trees are a beginner friendly spell for ai i'm so excited to use them
01:35splitting criteria are crucial in decision trees and i'm so eager to share they use metrics like genie
01:41impurity and entropy to decide where to split the data genie impurity measures how mixed the classes are in a
01:47split aiming for purity entropy measures the randomness in the data seeking to reduce uncertainty with each
01:53split the tree chooses the split that reduces impurity the most creating better separations this is a key
02:00step in tree magic i'm so excited to understand it now let's explore random forests and i'm so excited
02:11they're an ensemble of many decision trees working together to make better predictions each tree in the forest
02:17votes on the classification combining their decisions for a final answer this reduces overfitting by
02:23averaging the predictions smoothing out errors from individual trees random forests are often more
02:29accurate than a single decision tree improving reliability it's a forest of magical ai decisions i'm
02:35thrilled to dive into it
02:41why use random forests i'm so thrilled to share the benefits they're more accurate than single
02:47decision trees thanks to the power of ensemble learning they reduce overfitting by combining
02:51predictions from many trees making the model more robust they handle large data sets and many
02:57features well scaling effectively for complex problems for example they can classify diseases based on
03:02many symptoms aiding diagnosis random forests are a magical upgrade to tree power i'm so excited to use them
03:09evaluating decision trees and random forests is key and i'm so eager we use metrics like accuracy precision
03:21and recall to measure classification performance a confusion matrix shows true positives false negatives
03:28and other outcomes for detailed insights random forests also provide feature importance showing which
03:34features matter most in predictions this ensures our tree magic is effective confirming the model's reliability
03:41let's measure our spells success i'm so excited to see the results
03:50feature importance in random forests is fascinating and i'm so thrilled it shows which features influence
03:56predictions the most highlighting their impact on the model for example income might be the most
04:02most important feature for predicting customer churn guiding decisions this helps us interpret the model's
04:07decisions understanding why it classifies as it does it's also useful for feature selection in future models
04:14focusing on key predictors this gives a magical insight into ai decisions i'm so excited to explore it
04:25here are tips for using decision trees and random forests and i'm so thrilled start with decision trees for
04:31simplicity for simplicity as they're easier to understand when beginning use random forests when you need better
04:36accuracy leveraging their ensemble power visualize trees to understand their decisions making the
04:42process clearer for analysis tune hyper parameters like tree count for optimal performance using cross
04:49validation keep practicing your tree magic i'm so excited for your progress
