摘要

There is an increasing need to include explainability on the machine learning (ML) models. Among the various approaches, counterfactual (CF) explanations allow the design of what-if scenarios and the interactive exploration of ML model behavior on sensitive decision-making domains. However, the generation of CF for tabular and time-series data requires technical skills that are not always available to the end-users of ML-powered systems. Therefore, we propose a modular web-based tool to easily generate, visualize, and interact with CF on any tabular or time-series dataset. The EXTREMUM platform provides access to state-of-the-art CF algorithms, where users can train ML models and explore CF on their tabular or time-series datasets with an intuitive user interface. The project is instantiated on two tabular datasets within healthcare and five time-series datasets with various domains. The open-source repository lets ML researchers adapt the existing ML tool to new application domains: https://gitea.dsv.su.se/DataScienceGroup/EXTREMUM-demo .
