BOAT—Optimistic Decision Tree Construction

Summary: BOAT uses optimistic, subset-based initial tree construction with two scans per level, yielding large speedups. It refines to the exact tree and supports cheap incremental updates (insertions/deletions) that preserve the full-rebuild result. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
