  abstract  = {Decision trees have been previously employed in many machine-learning tasks
	such as part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization, morphological-attribute
	resolution, letter-to-sound conversion and statistical-parametric speech
	synthesis. In this paper we introduce an optimized tree-computation algorithm,
	which is based on the original ID3 algorithm. We also introduce a tree-pruning
	method that uses a development set to delete nodes from over-fitted models. The
	later mentioned algorithm also uses a results caching method for speed-up. Our
	algorithm is almost 200 times faster than a naive implementation and yields
	accurate results on our test datasets.},
