Machine Learning#

Do other machine learning algorithms perform better on our task? Can we improve the segmentation performance by parameter tuning?

  • Overfitting

  • Parameter tuning (tree depth, forest size)

  • Support Vector Machine (SVM)

  • Variants of decision forests (e.g., gradient boosted trees)
