SPOTting the Future: Lookahead Explanations for Deep Reinforcement Learning
This work introduces SPOT (Sampling Policy Observation Tree), a novel model-agnostic, sampling-based framework for interpreting DRL policies, and demonstrates how its tree-based representation can be used to inspect policy preferences, compare alternative future trajectories, and reveal downstream behaviors that are not visible through single-timestep feature-attribution methods.
