An ASP-Based Approach to Counterfactual Explanations for Classification

Machine Learning 2020-06-17 v2 Databases Logic in Computer Science Machine Learning

Abstract

We propose answer-set programs that specify and compute counterfactual interventions as a basis for causality-based explanations to decisions produced by classification models. They can be applied with black-box models and models that can be specified as logic programs, such as rule-based classifiers. The main focus in on the specification and computation of maximum responsibility causal explanations. The use of additional semantic knowledge is investigated.
