Counterfactual Metarules for Local and Global Recourse

Abstract:

We introduce T-CREx, a novel model-agnostic method for local and global counterfactual explanation (CE), which summarises recourse options for both individuals and groups in the form of generalised rules. It leverages tree-based surrogate models to learn the counterfactual rules, alongside metarules denoting their regimes of optimality, providing both a global analysis of model behaviour and diverse recourse options for users. Experiments indicate that T-CREx achieves superior aggregate performance over existing rule-based baselines on a range of CE desiderata, while being orders of magnitude faster to run.
