New algorithms enhance decision tree interpretability and accuracy

Researchers have developed three new algorithms for creating partially interpretable decision trees, which combine the interpretability of simple models with the accuracy of complex black-box models. These algorithms include an extension of the existing Branches algorithm, a conversion algorithm for standard CART, and a generalized CART that considers deferral during tree growth. The new methods demonstrate similar performance across many real-world datasets, with a generalized CART showing improved results on datasets where black-box accuracy is inconsistent. AI

IMPACT Enhances the trade-off between model accuracy and interpretability, potentially improving adoption in sensitive applications.

    Partially Interpretable Decision Trees

    arXiv:2611.06428v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Partially interpretable models extend simple interpretable models with the option to defer complicated inputs to an accurate but uninterpretable black-box model. By deferring more inputs, the model gets more accurate; by deferring f…
