Abstract

Machine learning algorithms generally suffer from a problem of ex- plainability. Given a classification result from a model, it is typically hard to determine what caused the decision to be made, and to give an informative ex- planation. We explore a new method of generating counterfactual explanations, which instead of explaining why a particular classification was made explain how a different outcome can be achieved. This gives the recipients of the explanation a better way to understand the outcome, and provides an actionable suggestion. We show that the introduced method of Constrained Adversarial Examples (CADEX) can be used in real world applications, and yields explanations which incorporate business or domain constraints such as handling categorical attributes and range constraints.
