2024 October
  • ECAI 2024 was a blast!🚀 I made an oral presentation on “Rigorous Probabilistic Guarantees for Robust Counterfactual Explanations” and an outreach activity with Francesco. We showed how model changes can invalidate counterfactuals and pose challenges when these explanations are used to provide recourse recommendations! In case you missed it, check out my GitHub page; I’ll post the demo used during the outreach soon!
