Researchers have developed new methods for analyzing and compressing tree ensembles, a popular class of AI models used in safety-critical applications. One paper introduces a symbolic and compositional approach to quantify sensitivity in decision tree ensembles, leading to a tool called XCount that shows significant speedups over existing methods. Another paper offers a spectral perspective on tree ensembles like random forests and gradient boosting machines, deriving optimal convergence rates and developing compression techniques that create much smaller models while retaining predictive performance.
