Hoeffding Concept Bottleneck Models with Applications to Overhead Images

Clément Bénard, Manon Arfib, Christophe Labreuche +1

Explainability of deep learning algorithms is critical for computer-vision applications with high-stakes decisions. Concept bottleneck models (CBM) have recently shown promising pe…

Tree Ensemble Explainability through the Hoeffding Functional Decomposition and TreeHFD Algorithm

Clément Bénard

Tree ensembles have demonstrated state-of-the-art predictive performance across a wide range of problems involving tabular data. Nevertheless, the black-box nature of tree ensemble…

MDA for random forests: inconsistency, and a practical solution via the Sobol-MDA

Clément Bénard, Sébastien da Veiga, Erwan Scornet

Variable importance measures are the main tools to analyze the black-box mechanisms of random forests. Although the mean decrease accuracy (MDA) is widely accepted as the most effi…

Interpretable Random Forests via Rule Extraction

Clément Bénard, Gérard Biau, Sébastien da Veiga +1

We introduce SIRUS (Stable and Interpretable RUle Set) for regression, a stable rule learning algorithm which takes the form of a short and simple list of rules. State-of-the-art l…
