This paper proposes a novel approach to decision-making by generating decision trees that are both robust and inherently interpretable. The authors build upon two existing concepts: inherently interpretable optimization models, which provide transparent solutions, and robust optimization, which handles uncertainty in problem parameters. By combining these ideas, the authors create surrogates for the optimization process that can withstand perturbations while maintaining interpretability. They present various models and solution methods to achieve this goal and evaluate the applicability of heuristic methods for this task. The paper compares its proposed approaches with existing frameworks for inherently interpretable optimization models.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This research creates a new way to make decisions by using decision trees that are both strong against unexpected changes and easy to understand. The authors combine two important ideas: making sure the solution process is clear, and handling uncertainty in problem details. They develop methods and models to achieve this goal and test their approach’s usefulness. The paper compares its results with other ways of making decision-making processes transparent.
