Uncertainty-Aware Ensemble Deep Randomized Neural Networks for Classification

arXiv:2608. 10007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The current state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep randomized neural networks, such as deep Random Vector Functional Link (dRVFL) and ensemble deep RVFL (edRVFL), treat all training samples uniformly, which limits their robustness and effectiveness when applied to real-world datasets containing noise and outliers.

SymboLLM-FE: LLM-Accelerated Symbolic Regression for Automated Feature Engineering on Tabular Data

SymboLLM-FE combines symbolic regression and large language models to automate feature engineering for tabular data. It first extracts mathematically expressive formulas that correlate strongly with the target, then refines them with LLMs to improve interpretability. Experiments on six real‑world datasets and four Kaggle competitions show that SymboLLM‑FE outperforms existing AutoFE methods while reducing the number of costly LLM calls.

The Standard Interpretable Model: Design interpretable machine learning methods from elementary symmetries

The paper introduces the Standard Interpretable Model (SIM), a theoretical framework that derives interpretability symmetries and constraints from first principles, enabling the design of interpretable machine learning methods. SIM allows building models that incorporate these constraints either through optimisation or architecture design, and demonstrates that full expressivity and interpretability can coexist without sacrificing performance. The authors validate the approach on language models, showing that SIM-based models match opaque counterparts while remaining interpretable, and outline how SIM can enhance existing pre‑trained models and guide future research.

Partially Interpretable Decision Trees

The paper introduces three algorithms for creating partially interpretable decision trees that can defer complex inputs to a black‑box model. The methods—an exact search extension of the Branches algorithm, a conversion approach applied to standard CART, and a generalized CART that incorporates deferral during tree growth—show comparable performance on many real‑world datasets. In synthetic settings with inhomogeneous black‑box accuracy, the deferral‑aware CART outperforms regular CART and matches exact search, and the approach is also applied to concept bottleneck models to replace neural networks after the bottleneck.
