Finding Minimum‐Cost Explanations for Predictions Made by Tree Ensembles
ABSTRACT The ability to reliably explain why a machine learning model arrives at a particular prediction is crucial when used as decision support by human operators of critical systems. The provided explanations must be provably correct, and preferably without redundant information, called minimal explanations.
