以樹為基礎的方法之精神在於學習規則，有很多的機器學習演算法皆以樹為 基礎，一些較複雜的樹學習器可能提供更高準確的預測模型，卻也犧牲了模型的解 釋性。表徵學習的精神在於從表面的資料中萃取抽象的概念，深度神經網路是最熱 門的表徵學習方法，然而，不可究責的表徵學習特性一直以來是深度神經網路的缺 點。在本篇論文中，我們提出了一種方法名為深度規則森林，能夠在層疊結構中藉 由隨機森林學習區域的表徵，學習到的區域表徵能夠搭配其他機器學習演算法，我 們以深度規則森林習得的區域表徵來訓練 CART 決策樹，並發現預測率有時甚至 會高於整體學習的方法。

The spirit of tree-based methods is to learn rules. A large number of machine learning techniques are tree-based. More complicated tree learners may result in higher predictive models, but may sacrifice for model interpretability. On the other hand, the spirit of representation learning is to extract abstractive concepts from manifestations of the data.
For instance, Deep Neural networks (DNNs) is the most popular method in representation learning. However, unaccountable feature representation is the shortcoming of DNNs. In this paper, we proposed an approach, Deep Rule Forest (DRF), to learn region representations based on random forest in the deep layer-wise structures. The learned interpretable rules region representations combine other machine learning algorithms. We trained CART which learned from DRF region representations, and found that the prediction accuracies sometime are better than ensemble learning methods.
