Traceable AI with Random Forest Reasoning

Pushkar Vashishtha

Abstract: The potent ensemble learning method Random Forest (RF) is frequently applied to tasks involving regression and classification. Its intrinsic black-box character, however, makes it challenging to understand how decisions are made. The reasoning underlying Random Forest predictions is traced and interpreted using a variety of methods in this research. We provide a summary of surrogate models, SHAP values, LIME, feature importance techniques, and decision path analysis to improve interpretability. In addition, we go over parallels with various machine learning models, explainability issues in high-stakes domains, and practical applications. Finally, we investigate potential avenues for further study to increase Random Forest models? transparency.
