Σύνοψη	Explainable Association Rules leverages the inherently symbolic, if-then structure of association rule mining to provide human-readable explanations of data patterns or black-box model decisions. Because each rule explicitly states its antecedent and consequent together with support, confidence, and lift, the outputs are natively interpretable without requiring a secondary post-hoc surrogate.	An Explainable Decision Tree is a classification or regression tree deliberately grown to be shallow, readable, and auditable — producing a finite set of if-then rules that a human can verify without additional tools. It sits at the intersection of predictive modelling and Explainable AI (XAI), chosen when stakeholders must understand and trust every prediction the model makes.
