Counterfactual explanations provide an intuitive way to understand model decisions by identifying minimal changes required to alter an outcome.
MASCOTS is a method that leverages the Bag-of-Receptive-Fields representation alongside symbolic transformations to enhance interpretability while preserving fidelity to the original data and model.
MASCOTS directly generates meaningful and diverse counterfactual observations in a model-agnostic manner, operating on both univariate and multivariate data.
MASCOTS improves interpretability and sparsity, allowing for explanations in visual, natural language, or semantic representations.
