POETREE: Interpretable Policy Learning with Adaptive Decision Trees [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Building models of human decision-making from observed behaviour is critical to better understand, diagnose and support real-world policies such as clinical care. As established policy learning approaches remain focused on imitation performance, they fall short of explaining the demonstrated decision-making process.

Learning and Development of Home Service Robots’ Service Cognition Based on a Learning Mechanism
Applied Sciences, 2020 In order to improve the intelligence of home service robots and resolve their inability to develop service cognition skills in an autonomous, human-like manner, we propose a method for home service robots to learn and develop skills that allow them to ...

DeforestVis: Behavior Analysis of Machine Learning Models with Surrogate Decision Stumps [PDF]
, 2023 As the complexity of machine learning (ML) models increases and their application in different (and critical) domains grows, there is a strong demand for more interpretable and trustworthy ML. A direct, model-agnostic, way to interpret such models is to train surrogate models-such as rule sets and decision trees-that sufficiently approximate the ...

Incremental Clustering and Expansion for Faster Optimal Planning in Dec-POMDPs [PDF]
Journal Of Artificial Intelligence Research, Volume 46, pages
449-509, 2013, 2014 This article presents the state-of-the-art in optimal solution methods for decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs), which are general models for collaborative multiagent planning under uncertainty. Building off the generalized multiagent A* (GMAA*) algorithm, which reduces the problem to a tree of one-shot ...
