• abstract = "we present ieldt (Interactive Evolutionary Learning of interpretable Decision Trees), a novel framework that integrates Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning with a rich human-driven refinement interface. IELDT evolves populations of interpretable decision tree policies and periodically exposes the best-performing tree to a domain expert through an intuitive web interface, allowing manual or natural-language-guided edits. The human-crafted policy is then re-injected into the evolutionary loop via a Lamarckian genotype reconstruction algorithm. The framework will be released as an open-source, modular Python library compatible with the OpenAI Gym interface, facilitating broad adoption and applicability",
