Online references to public sites where papers on decision tree learning, machine learning and data mining can be obtained are listed below. Direct links to some of the papers mentioned in the tutorial section of this site are provided at the bottom of the corresponding pages. Academic research papers are not always publicly available though and are only available via subscriptions (such as for the IEEE journals and Kluwer's Machine Learning).
