This summer, Agathe will present our recent paper Optimal Transport on Categorical Data for Counterfactuals using Compositional Data and Dirichlet Transport at the 34th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IJCAI. Recently, optimal transport-based approaches have gained attention for deriving counterfactuals, e.g., to quantify algorithmic discrimination. However, in the general multivariate setting, these methods are often opaque and difficult to interpret. To address this, alternative methodologies have been proposed, using causal graphs combined with iterative quantile …
