Optimal Transport Group Counterfactual Explanations

Enrique Valero-Leal, Bernd Bischl, Pedro Larrañaga +2

Group counterfactual explanations find a set of counterfactual instances to explain a group of input instances contrastively. However, existing methods either (i) optimize counterf…

Context-specific kernel-based hidden Markov model for time series analysis

Carlos Puerto-Santana, Concha Bielza, Pedro Larrañaga +1

Traditional hidden Markov models have been a useful tool to understand and model stochastic dynamic data; in the case of non-Gaussian data, models such as mixture of Gaussian hidde…
