Adversarial Random Forests for Density Estimation and Generative Modeling

AISTATS 2023poster

We propose methods for density estimation and data synthesis using a novel form of unsupervised random forests. Inspired by generative adversarial networks, we implement a recursive procedure in which trees gradually learn structural properties of the data through alternating rounds of generation an…

Local explanations via necessity and sufficiency: unifying theory and practice

UAI 2021poster

Necessity and sufficiency are the building blocks of all successful explanations. Yet despite their importance, these notions have been conceptually underdeveloped and inconsistently applied in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), a fast-growing research area that is so far lacking in firm the…
