  "term": "Random forest method",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A machine learning technique that constructs multiple decision trees during training and outputs the mode of the classes (for classification) or mean prediction (for regression) of the individual trees. This ensemble method reduces overfitting and improves predictive accuracy compared to a single decision tree. It is widely used in cheminformatics for predicting chemical properties and biological activities.",
