Документ Probabilistic counterfactual causal model for a single input variable in explainability task(Національний технічний університет "Харківський політехнічний інститут", 2023) Chalyi, Serhii; Leshchynskyi, VolodymyrThe subject of research in this article is the process of constructing explanations in intelligent systems represented as black boxes. The aim is to develop a counterfactual causal model between the values of an input variable and the output of an artificial intelligence system, considering possible alternatives for different input variable values, as well as the probabilities of these alternatives. The goal is to explain the actual outcome of the system's operation to the user, along with potential changes in this outcome according to the user's requirements based on changes in the input variable value. The intelligent system is considered as a "black box." Therefore, this causal relationship is formed using possibility theory, which allows accounting for the uncertainty arising due to the incompleteness of information about changes in the states of the intelligent system in the decision-making process. The tasks involve: structuring the properties of a counterfactual explanation in the form of a causal dependency; formulating the task of building a potential counterfactual causal model for explanation; developing a possible counterfactual causal model. The employed approaches include: the set-theoretic approach, used to describe the components of the explanation construction process in intelligent systems; the logical approach, providing the representation of causal dependencies between input data and the system's decision. The following results were obtained. The structuring of counterfactual causal dependency was executed. A comprehensive task of constructing a counterfactual causal dependency was formulated as a set of subtasks aimed at establishing connections between causes and consequences based on minimizing discrepancies in input data values and deviations in the decisions of the intelligent system under conditions of incomplete information regarding the functioning process of the system. A potential counterfactual causal model for a single input variable was developed. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the proposal of a potential counterfactual causal model for a single input variable. This model defines a set of alternative connections between the values of the input variable and the obtained result based on estimates of the possibility and necessity of using these variables to obtain a decision from the intelligent system. The model enables the formation of a set of dependencies that explain to the user the importance of input data values for achieving an acceptable decision for the user.
