Trees to Flows and Back: Unifying Decision Trees and Diffusion Models

Researchers have established a mathematical link between decision trees and diffusion models, revealing a shared optimization principle called Global Trajectory Score Matching (GTSM). This unification led to the development of \treeflow, which generates tabular data with improved fidelity and a 2x speedup. Additionally, a distillation method called \dsmtree transfers decision tree logic into neural networks, achieving comparable performance to teacher models. AI
