Original Problem 🤔:
→ Traditional decision trees fail on heterogeneous datasets, overlooking differences among diverse user segments.
→ Clustering methods lack explainability, making insights difficult to interpret or apply in decision-making.
-----
Solution in this Paper 💡:
→ GPT-HTree uses hierarchical clustering to group individuals by similar traits.
→ Resampling balances class distributions, particularly useful for venture capital success prediction.
→ Decision trees provide tailored classification within each cluster for accuracy and interpretability.
→ LLMs generate human-readable cluster descriptions, linking quantitative analysis with actionable insights.
-----
Key Insights from this Paper 🔑:
→ Combining clustering, decision trees, and LLMs improves both accuracy and interpretability in classification.
→ Resampling enhances the model's ability to differentiate between high and low-performing groups, particularly for venture capital success prediction.
→ LLMs bridge the gap between statistical patterns and qualitative insights, making the model’s outputs actionable.
-----
Results 💯:
→ Identifies explainable clusters with success probabilities up to 9 times higher than the baseline 1.9% random success rate.
→ Specifically, the 'serial-exit founders' cluster, comprising entrepreneurs with prior successful acquisitions or IPOs, shows a 22x higher likelihood of success compared to early professionals.
