Yggdrasil Decision Forests logo

Yggdrasil Decision Forests (YDF) is a production-grade collection of algorithms for the training, serving, and interpretation of decision forest models. YDF is open-source and is available in C++, command-line interface (CLI), TensorFlow (under the name TensorFlow Decision Forests ; TF-DF), JavaScript (inference only), and Go (inference only). YDF is supported on Linux, Windows, macOS, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino (experimental).
