A model created from multiple decision trees.

A model created from multiple decision trees. A decision forest makes a prediction by aggregating the predictions of its decision trees. Popular types of decision forests include random forests and gradient boosted trees. See the Decision Forests section in the Decision Forests course for more information.

Practitioners refer to decision forest when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
