Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Optimal Decision Trees using Dynamic Programming

NeurIPS 2023poster

Global optimization of decision trees has shown to be promising in terms of accuracy, size, and consequently human comprehensibility. However, many of the methods used rely on general-purpose solvers for which scalability remains an issue. Dynamic programming methods have been shown to scale much b…

Fair and Optimal Decision Trees: A Dynamic Programming Approach

NeurIPS 2022accept

Interpretable and fair machine learning models are required for many applications, such as credit assessment and in criminal justice. Decision trees offer this interpretability, especially when they are small. Optimal decision trees are of particular interest because they offer the best performance…
