==GENERATING COUNTERFACTUAL SAMPLES BASED ON USER PREFERENCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937372 titled 'GENERATING COUNTERFACTUAL SAMPLES BASED ON USER PREFERENCE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a computing system that uses machine learning and counterfactual samples to generate explanations for model predictions, train models to be consistent with previous models, and create counterfactual samples based on user preferences.

* The computing system aggregates multiple counterfactual samples for generating machine learning explanations.
* It uses machine learning and counterfactual samples to determine text for model prediction explanations.
* The system trains models to determine action acceptance and generate consistent output.
* It generates counterfactual samples based on user preferences by adjusting features indicated by the preferences.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

In some aspects, a computing system may aggregating multiple counterfactual samples so that machine learning explanations can be generated for sub-populations. In addition, methods and systems described herein use machine learning and counterfactual samples to determine text to use in an explanation for a model's prediction. A computing system may also train machine learning models to not only determine whether a request to perform an action should be accepted, but also to generate output that is consistent with output generated by previous machine learning models. Further, a computing system may generate counterfactual samples based on user preferences. A computing system may obtain preferences and then apply a penalty or adjustment parameter such that when a counterfactual sample is created, the computing system is forced to change one or more features indicated by the preferences to create the counterfactual sample.
