FCx: An algorithm for finding Feasible Counterfactual Explanations

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Counterfactual (CF) explanations identify changes that alter an input's classification. While existing methods produce realistic and low-cost CFs, they often fail to ensure feasibility, by suggesting non-constructive modifications or incompatible with future changes (e.g., changing an individual's race to secure a job offer). We introduce a refinement of CF explanations that explicitly enforces feasibility. Our approach is the first to efficiently generate CFs that are realistic, low-cost and feasible. We accommodate both hard feasible constraints, specified by domain knowledge users, and soft
