Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product perform machine-learning inferences with a tree-based model. The tree-based model includes a decision tree that was trained on a first system, which is configured to perform computations with a first arithmetic precision. The inferences are performed with the tree-based model on a second system, which is configured to perform computations with an arithmetic precision that is lower than the first arithmetic precision. Performing the inference includes determining that an input feature value is equal to a threshold value of a corresponding node and, in response, using a majority voting to select a left or right path of the decision tree. The majority voting is based on historical statistical data that includes tree-path statistics.
