🚀Exciting news! Our paper "Mitigating Information Loss in Tree-Based Reinforcement Learning via Direct Optimization" got accepted at #ICLR2025 ! 🎉🌳🤖 We introduce SYMPOL, a method that directly optimizes hard, axis-aligned decision trees with policy gradients! 🔥 🔽 Thread 👇

What’s in the Bottle? A Survey and Roadmap of Concept Bottleneck Models CBMs are a rapidly growing direction in interpretable-by-design machine learning. However, the field has become increasingly fragmented. Preprint Link: researchgate.net/publication/40…

We took a quick look at the new PaperDecision results for ICLR 2026 and asked a simple question: do we really need LLMs for this task? We did the same but with tabular data: s-marton.github.io/TabICLR/ #ICLR2026

🔍 Why SYMPOL? ✅ Direct optimization of discrete trees — no post-hoc conversion ✅ Fully interpretable and symbolic policies ✅ No soft trees — just clear, axis-aligned splits ✅ Strong results on classic RL benchmarks

🌟 Spotlight at #ICLR2025! Step by our poster #425 this Thu (Apr 24), 10:00–12:30 SGT — we’d love to chat if you’re around! 🇸🇬 📍 “Mitigating Information Loss in Tree-Based RL via Direct Optimization” With SYMPOL, we directly optimize axis-aligned DTs using policy gradients! 🌳

Which LIME should I trust? Our new paper, accepted at XAI 2025 in Istanbul, answers this question! LIME is a go-to for post-hoc explanations—but with so many variants, which one should you use? 🧵👇 📝 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.24365… #XAI2025 #XAI #ML

Excited to see our paper on ReMeDe Trees featured! 🚀 We propose a novel recurrent decision tree architecture with an internal memory to capture dependencies in sequential data. 🌳🧠 Efficient, interpretable, and optimized via gradient descent. Thanks @gm8xx8 for the shoutout! 🙌

Decision Trees That Remember: Gradient-Based Learning of Recurrent Decision Trees with Memory paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.04052 ReMeDe Trees is a decision tree architecture designed to handle sequential data by integrating an internal memory mechanism. It learns long-term dependencies through hard, axis-aligned decision rules optimized via gradient descent. Synthetic benchmark tests demonstrate its effectiveness in capturing temporal patterns.

Why do LLMs trained on over 90% English text perform so well in non-English languages? We find that they learn to share highly abstract grammatical concept representations, even across unrelated languages! New paper w/ @wendlerch and @amuuueller

PyTabKit 1.1 is out! - Includes TabM and provides a scikit-learn interface - some baseline NN parameter names are renamed (removed double-underscores) - other small changes, see the readme.
Yura Gorishniy@YuraFiveTwo

What DL architecture to try on tabular data? TabM is our new answer. TabM is leading on the benchmarks, while being simple, practical, and scalable to large datasets. 🧵In tabular ML, there is one thing that most people trust... 1/10
