Abstract
In general, the disclosure describes various aspects of techniques for evaluating decisions determined by autonomous devices. A device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store first state data representative of a first observational state detected by an autonomous device, and first action data representative of one or more first actions the autonomous device performs responsive to detecting the first observational state. The processor may execute a computation engine configured to identify, based on the first action data, a first inflection point representative of changing behavior of the autonomous device. The computation engine may further be configured to determine, based on the first inflection point, first explanatory data representative of portions of the first state data on which the autonomous device relied that explain the changing behavior of the autonomous device, and output the first explanatory data.
