MMD-based Variable Importance for Distributional Random Forest

no code implementations18 Oct 2023 Clément Bénard, Jeffrey Näf, Julie Josse

Distributional Random Forest (DRF) is a flexible forest-based method to estimate the full conditional distribution of a multivariate output of interest given input variables.

Variable importance for causal forests: breaking down the heterogeneity of treatment effects

1 code implementation7 Aug 2023 Clément Bénard, Julie Josse

In this article, we develop a new importance variable algorithm for causal forests, to quantify the impact of each input on the heterogeneity of treatment effects.

SHAFF: Fast and consistent SHApley eFfect estimates via random Forests

1 code implementation25 May 2021 Clément Bénard, Gérard Biau, Sébastien da Veiga, Erwan Scornet

Interpretability of learning algorithms is crucial for applications involving critical decisions, and variable importance is one of the main interpretation tools.

MDA for random forests: inconsistency, and a practical solution via the Sobol-MDA

no code implementations26 Feb 2021 Clément Bénard, Sébastien da Veiga, Erwan Scornet

Variable importance measures are the main tools to analyze the black-box mechanisms of random forests.

Interpretable Random Forests via Rule Extraction

no code implementations29 Apr 2020 Clément Bénard, Gérard Biau, Sébastien da Veiga, Erwan Scornet

We introduce SIRUS (Stable and Interpretable RUle Set) for regression, a stable rule learning algorithm which takes the form of a short and simple list of rules.

SIRUS: Stable and Interpretable RUle Set for Classification

no code implementations19 Aug 2019 Clément Bénard, Gérard Biau, Sébastien da Veiga, Erwan Scornet

State-of-the-art learning algorithms, such as random forests or neural networks, are often qualified as "black-boxes" because of the high number and complexity of operations involved in their prediction mechanism.
