Contextual Decision Trees

13 Jul 2022  ·  Tommaso Aldinucci, Enrico Civitelli, Leonardo di Gangi, Alessandro Sestini ·

Focusing on Random Forests, we propose a multi-armed contextual bandit recommendation framework for feature-based selection of a single shallow tree of the learned ensemble. The trained system, which works on top of the Random Forest, dynamically identifies a base predictor that is responsible for providing the final output. In this way, we obtain local interpretations by observing the rules of the recommended tree. The carried out experiments reveal that our dynamic method is superior to an independent fitted CART decision tree and comparable to the whole black-box Random Forest in terms of predictive performances.
