arXiv:2608. 20258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision tree-based models are widely used in machine learning due to their interpretability and strong empirical performance.
The paper examines whether Deep Embedded Clustering (DEC) truly overcomes the fundamental limitations of k‑means clustering, such as handling clusters of arbitrary shapes, varied sizes, and densities. Through analysis, it finds that DEC does not exploit the underlying data distribution and therefore fails to address these limitations. Instead, a non‑deep learning approach that leverages distributional information of clusters can achieve the intended goals of deep clustering.

The paper introduces DICS, a clustering-based framework that uses data-informed priors to construct a compact set of candidate splits for decision tree classifiers. By incorporating class-aware structure, DICS reduces the split search space, preserving predictive performance while cutting training time. The authors provide theoretical analysis and experimental results showing comparable accuracy to exhaustive search across synthetic and benchmark datasets.
arXiv:2608. 00346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data imbalance poses a major challenge in supervised classification, where the majority-class bias contributes to false negatives and overestimates classification accuracy.
arXiv:2512. 07355v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Two traditions of interpretability have evolved side by side but seldom spoken to each other: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs), which prescribe what a concept should be, and Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which discover what concepts emerge.
The paper introduces ICOMT, a framework for interpretable clustering using optimal multi-way decision trees. It proposes a new discretization technique based on one-dimensional K‑means, formulates a binary linear optimization problem to ensure tree optimality, and demonstrates superior clustering accuracy and shallow tree structures on four public datasets.
