Curate decision trees that align with your knowledge and values!

🚀 Live Demo	📺 Demo Video	👨🏻‍🏫 Conference Talk	📖 Research Paper

Web Demo

For a live web demo, visit: https://poloclub.github.io/timbertrek.

You can use the web demo to explore your own Rashomon Sets! You just need to choose the my own set tab below the tool and upload a JSON file containing all decision paths in your Rashomon Set.

Check out this example notebook to see how to generate the whole Rashomon Set and the JSON file.

Notebook Demos

You can directly use TimberTrek in your favorite computational notebooks (e.g. Jupyter Notebook/Lab, Google Colab, and VS Code Notebook).

Check out three live notebook demos below.
