Améliorer l'intelligibilité des arbres de décision avec des explications probabilistes concises et fiables
Abstract
This work deals with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), specifically focusing on improving the intelligibility of decision trees through reliable and concise probabilistic explanations. Decision trees are popular because they are considered highly interpretable. Due to cognitive limitations, abductive explanations can be too large to be interpretable by human users. When this happens, decision trees are far from being easily interpretable. In this context, our goal is to enhance the intelligibility of decision trees by using probabilistic explanations. Drawing inspiration from previous work on approximating probabilistic explanations, we propose a greedy algorithm that enables us to derive concise and reliable probabilistic explanations for decision trees. We provide a detailed description of this algorithm and compare it to the state-of-the-art SAT encoding, emphasizing the gains in intelligibility and highlighting its empirical effectiveness.
