Data Science with LLMs and Interpretable Models

Sebastian Bordt, Ben Lengerich, Harsha Nori +1

Recent years have seen important advances in the building of interpretable models, machine learning models that are designed to be easily understood by humans. In this work, we sho…

Interpretable Predictive Models to Understand Risk Factors for Maternal and Fetal Outcomes

Tomas M. Bosschieter, Zifei Xu, Hui Lan +5

Although most pregnancies result in a good outcome, complications are not uncommon and can be associated with serious implications for mothers and babies. Predictive modeling has t…

Contextualized Policy Recovery: Modeling and Interpreting Medical Decisions with Adaptive Imitation Learning

Jannik Deuschel, Caleb N. Ellington, Yingtao Luo +3

Interpretable policy learning seeks to estimate intelligible decision policies from observed actions; however, existing models force a tradeoff between accuracy and interpretabilit…

Using Interpretable Machine Learning to Predict Maternal and Fetal Outcomes

Tomas M. Bosschieter, Zifei Xu, Hui Lan +5

Most pregnancies and births result in a good outcome, but complications are not uncommon and when they do occur, they can be associated with serious implications for mothers and ba…

Executive Function: A Contrastive Value Policy for Resampling and Relabeling Perceptions via Hindsight Summarization?

Chris Lengerich, Ben Lengerich

We develop the few-shot continual learning task from first principles and hypothesize an evolutionary motivation and mechanism of action for executive function as a contrastive val…

Dropout as a Regularizer of Interaction Effects

Benjamin Lengerich, Eric P. Xing, Rich Caruana

We examine Dropout through the perspective of interactions. This view provides a symmetry to explain Dropout: given variables, there are possible sets of va…

How Interpretable and Trustworthy are GAMs?

Chun-Hao Chang, Sarah Tan, Ben Lengerich +2

Generalized additive models (GAMs) have become a leading modelclass for interpretable machine learning. However, there are many algorithms for training GAMs, and these can learn di…

Purifying Interaction Effects with the Functional ANOVA: An Efficient Algorithm for Recovering Identifiable Additive Models

Benjamin Lengerich, Sarah Tan, Chun-Hao Chang +2

Models which estimate main effects of individual variables alongside interaction effects have an identifiability challenge: effects can be freely moved between main effects and int…
