How Simple Can It Get? From Interpretable Equations to Readable Rules for Financial Decision Making

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 09433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as finance, a model that cannot be explained cannot be deployed, yet many interpretable classifiers defeat their own purpose by producing formulas with dozens of features that no regulator could read.

Anatomy of Post-Training: Using Interpretability to Characterize Data and Shape the Learning Signal

arXiv:2606. 12360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-model post-training is the main stage at which model behavior is shaped, yet it still largely involves optimization of scalar rewards that summarize diverse desiderata.

Anatomy of Post-Training: Using Interpretability to Characterize Data and Shape the Learning Signal

Language-model post-training is the main stage at which model behavior is shaped, yet it still largely involves optimization of scalar rewards that summarize diverse desiderata. This abstraction gives practitioners little visibility into what their data actually teaches models, allowing spurious correlations to be learned by a model and inducing undesirable behaviors such as over-stylization and sycophancy.

A unified framework for global and local interpretability using adaptive derivative-ordered random explanation

The paper introduces Adaptive Derivative-Ordered Random Explanation (ADORE), a unified framework that uses first- and second-order derivatives to capture nonlinear feature interactions and feature-sample dynamics. ADORE combines global feature importance with local sample contributions, quantifying both magnitude and direction of feature impact while identifying critical samples. It achieves computational efficiency via randomized SVD and dynamic sparsity detection, outperforming LIME and SHAP across tabular, text, and image data, and is released as an open-source Python package on GitHub.
