Title: Rigorous Explanations for Tree Ensembles

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tree ensembles (TEs) find a multitude of practical applications. They represent one of the most general and accurate classes of machine learning methods. While they are typically quite concise in representation, their operation remains inscrutable to human decision makers. One solution to build trust in the operation of TEs is to automatically identify explanations for the predictions made. Evidently, we can only achieve trust using explanations, i
