Abstract
Approaches policy set feature guided node level partitioning for policy search tree optimization are disclosed. A set of policy bins is generated by creating equal-width bins on a given dimension. An original policy set is scanned to determine a number of policies falling into each policy bin in the set of policy bins. An original policy set characteristic is measured based on the number of policies falling into each policy bin. Parameters that represent relationships between the policy set and another policy set are determined based on a number of policies falling into each policy bin and the policy set characteristic. A new policy set is generated based on the parameters. A new policy search tree is generated based on a new policy set. The new policy search tree provides improved build cost or improved search cost as compared a search tree based on the original policy set.
