摘 要⛹🏻📏：
Decision trees and the Mondrian processes (MPs) are powerful space-partitioning methodsfor relational data in multi-dimensional space. These methods are based onrecursively cutting a domain, the flexibility of these methods is often limitedby the requirement that the cuts be axis aligned. The binary space partitioning(BSP)-tree process was recently introduced as a generalization of the MP forspace partitioning with non-axis aligned cuts in the two-dimensional space.Motivated by these processes, we propose the Random Tessellation Process (RTP),a framework that includes the MP and the BSP-tree process as special cases. Wederive a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm for inference and provide randomforest versions. The RTP is self-consistent and can relax axis-alignedconstraints, allowing complex inter-dimensional dependence to be captured inmulti-dimensional space. Moreover, we propose a novel parallel Bayesiannonparametric approach to split a two-dimensional domain with the Bézier curvesin the framework of space partitioning methods, enabling complex data-shapes tobe acquired.
