arXiv:2607.02069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ensuring model reliability in Explainable AI requires a global assessment of the hypothesis space. We propose a formal framework for the exhaustive analysis of optimal and near-optimal decision trees, called Algebraic Decision Tree Counting (ADTC). Inspired by Algebraic Model Counting (AMC) in knowledge representation, ADTC reformulates diverse analytical tasks, such as optimization, counting, and sampling, into a unified sum-of-products computation over a semiring $R$. While the hypothesis space of decision trees is doubly exponential with respe
The increasing complexity and opacity of advanced AI models are driving a demand for rigorous explainability and reliability frameworks.
This research provides a formal framework for exhaustively analyzing optimal decision trees, which is crucial for building reliable and auditable AI systems, especially in high-stakes applications.
The ability to formally and exhaustively analyze optimal and near-optimal decision trees provides a new methodology for model assurance, moving beyond heuristic approaches.
