Counterfactual Explanations of Concept Drift
The notion of concept drift refers to the phenomenon that the distribution, which is underlying the observed data, changes over time; as a consequence machine learning models may become inaccurate and need adjustment. While there do exist methods to detect concept drift or to adjust models in the presence of observed drift, the question of explaining drift has hardly been considered so far. This problem is of importance, since it enables an inspection of the most prominent features where drift manifests itself; hence it enables human understanding of the necessity of change and it increases acceptance of life-long learning models. In this paper we present a novel technology, which characterizes concept drift in terms of the characteristic change of spatial features represented by typical examples based on counterfactual explanations. We establish a formal definition of this problem, derive an efficient algorithmic solution based on counterfactual explanations, and demonstrate its usefulness in several examples.

Counterfactual Explanations Under Concept Drift
Counterfactual explanations (CFEs) provide actionable recourse, but most methods assume a static framework with fixed data and a trained classifier. This assumption breaks in evolving data environments, such as data stre…
Explaining Concept Drift through the Evolution of Group Counterfactuals
Machine learning models in dynamic environments often suffer from concept drift, where changes in the data distribution degrade performance. While detecting this drift is a well-studied topic, explaining how and why the …
Meaningfully Debugging Model Mistakes using Conceptual Counterfactual Explanations
Understanding and explaining the mistakes made by trained models is critical to many machine learning objectives, such as improving robustness, addressing concept drift, and mitigating biases. However, this is often an a…
