Resumo:
Machine learning algorithms (ML) are becoming incredibly present in our daily lives, from movie and song recommendation systems to high-risk areas like health care, criminal justice, finance, and so on, supporting decision making. But the complexity of those algorithms is increasing while their interpretability is decreasing. Many algorithms and their decisions cannot be easily explained by either developers or users, and the algorithms are also not self-explanatory. As a result, mistakes and biases can end up being hidden, which can profoundly impact people s lives. So, initiatives concerning transparency, explainability, and interpretability are becoming increasingly more relevant, as we can see in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), approved in 2016 for the European Union, and in the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) approved in 2020 in Brazil. In addition to laws and regulations, several authors consider necessary the use of inherently interpretable algorithms; others show alternatives to explain black-box algorithms using local explanations, taking the neighborhood of a given point and then analyzing the decision boundary in that region; while yet others study the use of counterfactual explanations. Following the path of counterfactuals, we propose to develop a user interface for the system Optimal Counterfactual Explanations in Tree Ensembles (OCEAN), which we call OceanUI, through which the user generates plausible counterfactual explanations using Mixed Integer Programming and Isolation Forest. The purpose of this user interface is to facilitate the counterfactual generation and to allow the user to obtain a personal and more individually applicable counterfactual, by means ofrestrictions and interactive graphics.
