We present two algorithms for generating (resp. evaluating) abductive explanations for boosted regression trees. Given an instance x and an interval I containing its value F (x) for the boosted regression tree F at hand, the generation algorithm returns a (most general) term t over the Boolean condi…
Abductive explanations take a central place in eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) by clarifying with few features the way data instances are classified. However, instances may have exponentially many minimum-size abductive explanations, and this source of complexity holds even for ``intell…
Random forests have long been considered as powerful model ensembles in machine learning. By training multiple decision trees, whose diversity is fostered through data and feature subsampling, the resulting random forest can lead to more stable and reliable predictions than a single decision tree. T…
