ODTlearn: A Package for Learning Optimal Decision Trees for Prediction and Prescription

1 code implementation28 Jul 2023 Patrick Vossler, Sina Aghaei, Nathan Justin, Nathanael Jo, Andrés Gómez, Phebe Vayanos

ODTLearn is an open-source Python package that provides methods for learning optimal decision trees for high-stakes predictive and prescriptive tasks based on the mixed-integer optimization (MIO) framework proposed in Aghaei et al. (2019) and several of its extensions.

Fairness in Contextual Resource Allocation Systems: Metrics and Incompatibility Results

no code implementations4 Dec 2022 Nathanael Jo, Bill Tang, Kathryn Dullerud, Sina Aghaei, Eric Rice, Phebe Vayanos

We study critical systems that allocate scarce resources to satisfy basic needs, such as homeless services that provide housing.

Learning Optimal Fair Classification Trees: Trade-offs Between Interpretability, Fairness, and Accuracy

1 code implementation24 Jan 2022 Nathanael Jo, Sina Aghaei, Andrés Gómez, Phebe Vayanos

The increasing use of machine learning in high-stakes domains -- where people's livelihoods are impacted -- creates an urgent need for interpretable, fair, and highly accurate algorithms.

Optimal Robust Classification Trees

no code implementations AAAI Workshop AdvML 2022 Nathan Justin, Sina Aghaei, Andres Gomez, Phebe Vayanos

In many high-stakes domains, the data used to drive machine learning algorithms is noisy (due to e. g., the sensitive nature of the data being collected, limited resources available to validate the data, etc).

Learning Optimal Prescriptive Trees from Observational Data

1 code implementation31 Aug 2021 Nathanael Jo, Sina Aghaei, Andrés Gómez, Phebe Vayanos

We consider the problem of learning an optimal prescriptive tree (i. e., an interpretable treatment assignment policy in the form of a binary tree) of moderate depth, from observational data.

Learning Optimal Classification Trees: Strong Max-Flow Formulations

no code implementations21 Feb 2020 Sina Aghaei, Andres Gomez, Phebe Vayanos

To fill this gap in the literature, we propose a flow-based MIP formulation for optimal binary classification trees that has a stronger linear programming relaxation.

Learning Optimal and Fair Decision Trees for Non-Discriminative Decision-Making

no code implementations25 Mar 2019 Sina Aghaei, Mohammad Javad Azizi, Phebe Vayanos

In recent years, automated data-driven decision-making systems have enjoyed a tremendous success in a variety of fields (e. g., to make product recommendations, or to guide the production of entertainment).
