Explanations-Driven Active Feature Acquisition for Algorithmic Recourse

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Algorithmic recourse methods typically assume that a predictive model has access to all features of an individual. In practice, decisions are often made with partial information, because features are costly to acquire. Active feature acquisition addresses cost-constrained prediction, but existing methods are explanation-agnostic: prior work provides explanations only after acquiring additional features, rather than using explanations to drive acquisition. This work flips that and treats algorithmic recourse and feature acquisition jointly. We use Markov Blanket theory to unify counterfactual,
