alt Hacker NewsFun fact - single bit neural networks are decision trees.
In theory, this means you can 'compile' most neural networks into chains of if-else statements but it's not well understood when this sort of approach works well.

Do you know of any software that does this? Or any papers on the matter? It could be a fun weekend project

> single bit neural networks are decision trees.
I didn't exactly understood what was meant here, so I went out and read a little. There is an interesting paper called "Neural Networks are Decision Trees" [1]. Thing is, this does not imply a nice mapping of neural networks onto decision trees. The trees that correspond to the neural networks are huge. And I get the idea that the paper is stretching the concept of decision trees a bit.
Also, I still don't know exactly what you mean, so would you care to elaborate a bit? :)
