Demonstrating Quest: A Query-Driven Framework to Explain Classification Models on Tabular Data

Summary: Quest is a query-driven framework that yields local explanations for tabular classifiers as relational predicates approximating model behavior around a sample. Demo shows Quest on synthetic and real tabular data with an interactive UI to aid model development. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
