Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprising, automatically: analyzing a machine learning dataset which comprises multiple datapoints, to deduce constraints on features of the datapoints; generating a first set of CSP (Constraint Satisfaction Problem) rules expressing the constraints; based on a machine learning model which was trained on the dataset, generating a second set of CSP rules that define one or more perturbation candidates among the features of one of the datapoints; formulating a CSP based on the first and second sets of CSP rules; solving the formulated CSP using a solver; and using the solution of the CSP as a counterfactual explanation of a prediction made by the machine learning model with respect to the one datapoint.
