Temporally Interpretable Differentiable Decision Trees

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.10367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interpretability offers a solution to safe autonomy by providing transparency into an agent's underlying decision-making model. Within sequential-decision making tasks, differentiable decision trees (DDTs) are one approach to such interpretability, maintaining automatic-differentiable policies while providing humans with a discrete tree-based visualization. Nonetheless, current implementations of DDTs are not well-suited for sequential-decision making domains, as there exists an inherent mismatch between a tree's single-timestep behavior and a human's multi-timestep planning. Our work thus introduces time as a new dimension of interpretability, coined as temporal interpretability, and demonstrates how temporal abstractions via action chunking
