Cluster LOCO: Feature Importance For Interpreting Clusters

arXiv:2606. 14592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustering is widely used for exploratory analysis and scientific discovery, driving insights from market segmentation to biological data analysis, but its outputs can be difficult to interpret, audit, and reproduce as modern datasets become increasingly large and complex.

Beyond Local Inspection: Global, Guideline-Grounded Evaluation of Post-hoc XAI Methods for ECG Classification

arXiv:2607. 24035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explainable AI (XAI) is used to assess whether artificial intelligence models rely on meaningful patterns, yet explanations that appear plausible for individual predictions may systematically misrepresent model behavior.

Interpretable clustering via optimal multi-way decision trees

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.
