Machine learning explainability via microaggregation and shallow decision trees

作者:

Highlights:

• We give explanations of deep learning decisions using shallow decision trees.

• Decision trees are computed on clusters obtained via microaggregation.

• The cluster size trades off comprehensibility, representativeness and privacy.

• We present experiments on large numerical and categorical data sets.

• For categorical data sets, we use ontologies for semantic consistency.
