Minimising changes to audit when updating decision trees
Interpretable models are important, but what happens when the model is updated on new training data? We propose an algorithm for updating a decision tree while minimising the number of changes to the tree that a human would need to audit. We achieve this via a greedy approach that incorporates the number of changes to the tree as part of the objective function. We compare our algorithm to existing methods and show that it sits in a sweet spot between final accuracy and number of changes to audit.
