• Abstract: Machine-learning models are ubiquitous. In some domains, for instance, in medicine, the models' predictions must be interpretable. Decision trees, classification rules, and subgroup discovery are three broad categories of supervised machine-learning models presenting knowledge in the form of interpretable rules. The accuracy of these models learned from small datasets is usually low. Obtaining larger datasets is often hard to impossible. We propose a framework dubbed PRELIM to learn better rules from small data. It augments data using statistical models and employs it to learn a rulebased model. In our extensive experiments, we identified PRELIM configurations that outperform state-of-the-art.

  We show how to improve the fairness of Machine Learning models without altering the data or the learning algorithm. We use a simple but key insight: the divergence of trends between different populations, and, consecutively, between a learned model and minority populations, is analogous to data drift. We explore two strategies (model-splitting and reweighing) to resolve this drift, aiming to improve the overall conformance of models to the underlying data.

  We introduce a framework to measure how biases change before and after fine-tuning a large scale visual recognition model for a downstream task. We find that supervised models trained on datasets such as ImageNet-21k are more likely to retain their pretraining biases. We also find that models finetuned on larger scale datasets are more likely to introduce new biased associations.

  Human-readability is an important and desirable standard for machine-learned model interpretability. We propose to train interpretable models using conventional methods, and then distill them into concise, human-readable code. We describe a piecewise-linear curve-fitting algorithm that produces high-quality results efficiently and reliably across a broad range of use cases.

It can help to understand the partitioning of the feature space into predicted classes in a classification model using quantile shifts. Basically, real data points (or specific points of interest) are used and the changes of the prediction after slightly raising or decreasing specific features are observed.

  We propose Explainable Matrix (ExMatrix), a novel visualization method for Random Forest (RF) interpretability. It employs a simple yet powerful matrix-like visual metaphor, where rows are rules, columns are features, and cells are rules predicates. ExMatrix applicability is confirmed via different examples, showing how it can be used in practice to promote RF models interpretability.
