New method learns optimal recourse summaries using decision trees

Researchers have developed a new method called SOGAR for learning recourse summaries, which partition populations and assign a single action per subgroup to facilitate global auditing and bias detection. This approach formulates recourse summary learning as an optimal decision tree problem, addressing the trade-off between recourse effectiveness and cost. SOGAR utilizes shallow, axis-parallel decision trees and sparse leaf actions to generate stable, low-cost, and effective summaries that outperform existing methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for improving global auditing and bias detection in classifier outcomes by generating more effective and cost-efficient recourse summaries.

    Optimal Recourse Summaries via Bi-Objective Decision Tree Learning

    Actionable Recourse provides individuals with actions they can take to change an unfavorable classifier outcome. While useful at the instance level, it is ill-suited for global auditing and bias detection, since aggregating local actions is costly and often inconsistent. Recourse…
