Quantifying Sensitivity for Tree Ensembles: A symbolic and compositional approach

arXiv:2605. 13830v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decision tree ensembles (DTE) are a popular model for a wide range of AI classification tasks, used in multiple safety critical domains, and hence verifying properties on these models has been an active topic of study over the last decade.

ArborEnum: Decision Tree Rashomon Sets over Continuous Features

arXiv:2608. 04310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Rashomon effect describes the phenomenon that many models can achieve nearly equivalent performance on the same learning task, with significant ramifications for robustness, feature importance, and customizability.

Kernel of Partition Paths: A Unified Representation for Tree Ensembles

arXiv:2606. 18853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A recent line of work has reframed individual decision trees as linear models on engineered features associated with their splits, opening routes for oracle inequalities and feature-importance reinterpretation, but leaving open the question of what unified geometric object a forest induces when one indexes its feature map by nodes rather than by splits.
