Feature Importance Measurement based on Decision Tree Sampling

25 Jul 2023  ·  Chao Huang, Diptesh Das, Koji Tsuda ·

Random forest is effective for prediction tasks but the randomness of tree generation hinders interpretability in feature importance analysis. To address this, we proposed DT-Sampler, a SAT-based method for measuring feature importance in tree-based model. Our method has fewer parameters than random forest and provides higher interpretability and stability for the analysis in real-world problems. An implementation of DT-Sampler is available at https://github.com/tsudalab/DT-sampler.
