We propose a procedure to build a decision tree which approximates the performance of complex machine learning models. This single approximation tree can be used to interpret and simplify the predicting pattern of random forests (RFs) and…

Models often need to be constrained to a certain size for them to be considered interpretable. For example, a decision tree of depth 5 is much easier to understand than one of depth 50. Limiting model size, however, often reduces accuracy.…

Treewidth and hypertree width have proven to be highly successful structural parameters in the context of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). When either of these parameters is bounded by a constant, then CSP becomes solvable in…

Admissible strategies, i.e. those that are not dominated by any other strategy, are a typical rationality notion in game theory. In many classes of games this is justified by results showing that any strategy is admissible or dominated by…

Treewidth is a well-studied decompositional parameter to measure the tree-likeness of a graph. While the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) is known to be tractable when parameterized by the treewidth of the underlying primal graph,…

To each one-dimensional subshift $X$, we may associate a winning shift $W(X)$ which arises from a combinatorial game played on the language of $X$. Previously it has been studied what properties of $X$ does $W(X)$ inherit. For example, $X$…

In this paper, we study the notion of admissibility for randomised strategies in concurrent games. Intuitively, an admissible strategy is one where the player plays `as well as possible', because there is no other strategy that dominates…
