{"slug": "treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks", "title": "TreeNets (Decision Tree Based Neural Networks)", "summary": "Independent researcher Younes Naghibi released a paper introducing TreeNets, a method that reduces large language model size by combining neural networks with decision trees. The approach includes a TreeNet-based BART model on Hugging Face, aiming to improve efficiency and interpretability.", "body_md": "My current research paper introduces so called TreeNets, which can drastically reduce the size of LLMs. In general, TreeNets help us understand the fundamental connection between neural networks and decision trees.\n\n[You can find my paper here](https://codeberg.org/ynaghibi/TreeNets/src/branch/main/TreeNets.pdf). Or go to my [repository](https://codeberg.org/ynaghibi/TreeNets/src/branch/main) directly. This is the first draft of my paper, so it will require changes in the future.\n\nI have also uploaded a LLM based on TreeNets and Bart. You can find it [here](https://huggingface.co/ynaghibi/tree_bart_xsum_6_6).\n\nPlease let me know if there are any problems with the uploads. I am an independent researcher and this is my first publication.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks/177524#post_1", "published_at": "2026-07-06 22:21:10+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-07 01:33:26.680612+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "neural-networks", "machine-learning", "ai-research"], "entities": ["Younes Naghibi", "TreeNets", "BART", "Hugging Face", "Codeberg"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/treenets-decision-tree-based-neural-networks.jsonld"}}
