  • On Explaining Random Forests with SAT

    Yacine Izza, Joao Marques-Silva

    Proceedings of the Thirtieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2021

    This paper proves that computing one PI-explanation of an RF is D^P-hard, and proposes a propositional encoding for computing explanations of RFs, thus enabling finding PI-Explanations with a SAT solver.

  • Using MaxSAT for Efficient Explanations of Tree Ensembles

    Alexey Ignatiev, Yacine Izza, P. Stuckey, Joao Marques-Silva

    Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2022

    Experimental results obtained demonstrate that the proposed MaxSAT-based approach is either on par or outperforms the existing reasoning-based explainers, thus representing a robust and efficient alternative for computing formal explanations for TEs.

  • On Tackling Explanation Redundancy in Decision Trees

    Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Joao Marques-Silva

    Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research · 2022

    This paper offers both theoretical and experimental arguments demonstrating that, as long as interpretability of decision trees equates with succinctness of explanations, then decision trees ought not be deemed interpretable.

    Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning · 2021

    The paper shows that the set of all contrastive explanations can be enumerated in polynomial time, and proposes a practically efficient solution for the enumeration of explanations, and studies the complexity of deciding whether a given feature is included in some explanation.

  • Tractable Explanations for d-DNNF Classifiers

    Xuanxiang Huang, Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Martin C. Cooper, Nicholas M. Asher, Joao Marques-Silva

    Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2022

    This paper shows that for classifiers represented with some of the best-known propositional languages, different kinds of explanations can be computed in polynomial time, for any propositional language that is strictly less succinct than d-DNNF.

  • Boosting MCSes Enumeration

    Éric Grégoire, Yacine Izza, Jean-Marie Lagniez

    International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2018

    In the paper, a technique is introduced that boosts the currently most efficient practical approaches to enumerate MCSes and implements a model rotation paradigm that allows the set of M CSes to be computed in an heuristically efficient way.

  • Delivering Inflated Explanations

    Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Peter J. Stuckey, Joao Marques-Silva

    Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2024

    This paper formally defines inflated explanations, which is a set of features, and for each feature a set of values, such that the decision will remain unchanged, for any of the values allowed for any of the features in the (inflated) abductive explanation.

    Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2023

    This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the feature relevancy problem (FRP) which is applicable to any ML classifier that meets minor requirements, and shows that the novel algorithm is efficient in practice.

  • Most General Explanations of Tree Ensembles (Extended Version)

    Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Sasha Rubin, João Marques-Silva, Peter J. Stuckey

    arXiv · 2025

    This paper shows how to find a most general abductive explanation for an AI decision that covers as much of the input space as possible, while still being a correct formal explanation of the model's behaviour.

  • Provably Precise, Succinct and Efficient Explanations for Decision Trees

    Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Nina Narodytska, Martin C. Cooper, Joao Marques-Silva

    arXiv · 2022

    Two logic encodings for computing smallest {\delta}-relevant sets for DTs are proposed and a polynomial-time algorithm is devised which is not guaranteed to be subset-minimal, but for which the experiments show to be most often subset-Minimal in practice.

  • On the Enumeration of Association Rules: A Decomposition-based Approach

    Yacine Izza, Saïd Jabbour, Badran Raddaoui, Abdelhamid Boudane

    International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2020

    This paper introduces a practical SAT-based approach to discover efficiently (minimal non-redundant) association rules by presenting a decomposition-based paradigm that splits the original transaction database into smaller and independent subsets.

  • On Computing Relevant Features for Explaining NBCs

    Yacine Izza, Joao Marques-Silva

    arXiv · 2022

    This paper investigates the computation of relevant sets for Naive Bayes Classifiers (NBCs) and shows that, in practice, these are easy to compute, and confirms that succinct sets of relevant features can be obtained with NBCs.

  • On the Extraction of One Maximal Information Subset That Does Not Conflict with Multiple Contexts

    É. Grégoire, Yacine Izza, Jean-Marie Lagniez

    Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2016

    IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) · 2026

    Critical insights are revealed into why LLMs produce code vulnerabilities: they explicitly learn vulnerability patterns and actively use them during inference, and it is demonstrated how this can be leveraged to repair LLM executions, allowing us to avoid such vulnerability patterns.

    Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Joao Marques-Silva

    International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2023

    This paper overviews recent theoretical and practical results which demonstrate that for most decision trees, tree paths exhibit so-called explanation redundancy, in that logically sound explanations can often be significantly more succinct than what the features in the path dictates.

    International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Tools · 2018

    It is shown that a family of consensuses might not actually be endorsed by open-minded agents, due to the usual ad-hoc logical representation of knowledge and well-known paradoxes linked to material implication.
