    Provably fast and accurate recovery of evolutionary trees through harmonic greedy triplets (English)
    0 references
    A greedy learning algorithm is given in this paper for reconstructing an evolutionary tree based on a certain harmonic average on triplets of terminal taxa. The algorithm runs in \(O(n^2)\) time and \(O(n)\) space, which are optimal in the sense that the size of an input distance matrix is \(n^2\) and the size of output tree is \(n\).
