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.

The paper introduces a four-step pipeline that mines decision rules in the latent space of an FT-Transformer and then translates those rules back into measurable clinical features. By treating embedding dimensions that separate patient groups as latent biomarkers, small decision trees are used to extract rules, which are then mapped to raw features using gradient-input saliency and CLS attention attribution. Across six public clinical datasets, the translated rules generally outperformed raw-feature rules, achieving significant AUROC gains, though some high-performing latent rules could not be fully captured by simple raw-feature conditions.
