Counterfactual explanations for time series

Time Series are used in healthcare, meteorology, and many other fields. Rigorous research has been done to develop distance measures and classifying algorithms for time series. When a time series is classified, one can ask what changes should be made to the time series to classify it differently. A time series with the appropriate changes that make the classifier classify the time series as a different class is known as a counterfactual explanation. There exist model-dependent methods for creating counterfactual explanations. However, there exists a lack in the literature of a model agnostic method for creating counterfactual explanations for Time Series. This study aims to answer the following research question. ” How does a model agnostic method for counterfactuals for time series perform in terms of cost and compactness compared to model dependent algorithms for counterfactuals for time series?” To answer the research question, a model agnostic method for creating counterfactuals for time series was created named Multi-Objective Counterfactuals For Time Series. The Evaluation of the Multi-Objective Counterfactual Explanation For Time Series performed better than the modeldependent algorithms in Compactness but worse in Cost.
