The privacy issue of counterfactual explanations: explanation linkage attacks

Sofie Goethals, Kenneth Sörensen, David Martens

Black-box machine learning models are being used in more and more high-stakes domains, which creates a growing need for Explainable AI (XAI). Unfortunately, the use of XAI in machi…
