AbstractRecent advances have shown how decision trees are apt data structures for concisely representing strategies (or controllers) satisfying various objectives. Moreover, they also make the strategy more explainable. The recent tool had provided pipelines with tools supporting strategy synthesis for hybrid systems, such as and . We present , a new version with several fundamentally novel features. Most importantly, the user can now provide domain knowledge to be exploited in the decision tree learning process and can also interactively steer the process based on the dynamically provided information. To this end, we also provide a graphical user interface. It allows for inspection and re-computation of parts of the result, suggesting as well as receiving advice on predicates, and visual simulation of the decision-making process. Besides, we interface model checkers of probabilistic systems, namely and and provide dedicated support for categorical enumeration-type state variables. Consequently, the controllers are more explainable and smaller.

Decision trees are part of the decision theory and are excellent tools in the decision-making process. Majority of decision tree learning methods were developed within the last 30 years by scholars like Quinlan, Mitchell, and Breiman, just to name a few (Ozgulbas & Koyuncugil, 2006). There are a number of methods and sophisticated software used to graphically present decision trees. Decision trees have a great number of benefits and are widely used in many business functions as well as different industries. However there are also disagreements and various concerns as to how useful decision trees really are. As technology evolves so do decision trees. Therefore not only do many controversies arise but also solutions and new proposals to these arguments.
