Quantifying the Endogenous Domain and Model Shifts Induced by the DiCE Generator

Algorithmic recourse aims to provide individuals affected by a negative classification outcome with actions which, if applied, would flip this outcome. Various approaches to the generation of recourse have been proposed in the literature; these are typically assessed on statistical measures such as the validity of generated explanations or their...

Quantifying the Endogenous Domain and Model Shifts Induced by the CLUE Recourse Generator

Employing counterfactual explanations in a recourse process gives a positive outcome to an individual, but it also shifts their corresponding data point. For systems where models are updated frequently, a change might be seen when recourse is applied, and after multiple rounds, severe shifts in both model and domain may occur. Algorithmic...

Explainable artificial intelligence in forensics: realistic explanations for number of contributor predictions of DNA profiles

Using machine learning to determine the number of contributors (NOC) in short tandem repeat (STR) mixture DNA profiles has been shown to obtain good accuracy. However, the models used so far are not transparent to users as they only output a prediction without any reasoning for that conclusion. Therefore, we leverage techniques from the field of...
