Method for Training and White Boxing DL, BDT, Random Forest and Mind Maps Based on GNN

Abstract

A method for training and white boxing of deep learning (DL) binary decision trees (BDT), random forest (RF) as well as mind maps (MM) based on graph neural networks (GNN) is proposed. By representing DL, BDT, RF, and MM as graphs, these can be trained by GNN. These learning architectures can be optimized through the proposed method. The proposed method allows representation of the architectures with matrices because the learning architecture can be expressed with graphs. These matrices and graphs are visible, which makes the learning processes visible, and therefore, more accountable. Some examples are shown here to highlight the usefulness of the proposed method, in particular, for learning processes and for ensuring the accountability of DL together with improvement in network architecture.
