arXiv:2511.19636v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many machine learning problems, there may exist multiple models that achieve nearly identical predictive performance while relying on fundamentally different internal logic. However, standard training procedures produce a single model, offering no practical way to explore alternatives that may better suit downstream needs. The set of these equally accurate models is known as the Rashomon set. Exploring the Rashomon set is particularly challenging in large and complex hypothesis spaces, such as Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs), which
The increasing complexity of AI models, particularly in interpretable domains like Concept Bottleneck Models, necessitates advanced techniques to understand and leverage model diversity for robust and ethical AI systems.
Understanding the Rashomon Set allows for the construction and deployment of more explainable and adaptable AI models, crucial for trust and integration into critical decision-making processes.
The ability to systematically explore multiple models with similar performance but different internal logic offers a pathway to more transparent, auditable, and context-aware AI applications.
