Optimal Model Trees for Interpretable Machine Learning Explored

Researchers have explored the creation of globally optimal model trees for machine learning tasks. Unlike traditional greedy approaches that focus on local optimizations, this method aims for a tree structure that is optimal across the entire dataset. The study investigates the performance of these optimal model trees, particularly those using linear support vector machines in their leaf nodes, comparing them against various other methods including classic decision trees, random forests, and standard support vector machines.

    Experiments with Optimal Model Trees

    arXiv:2503.12902v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model trees provide an appealing way to perform interpretable machine learning for both classification and regression problems. In contrast to ``classic'' decision trees with constant values in their leaves, model trees can use …
