Navigating Explanatory Multiverse Through Counterfactual Path Geometry [PDF]

open access: yesMachine-mediated learning, 2023
Counterfactual explanations are the de facto standard when tasked with interpreting decisions of (opaque) predictive models. Their generation is often subject to technical and domain-specific constraints that aim to maximise their real-life utility. In

Are the Theories of Evolution, Multiverse, and the Inexistence of Universe Starting Point, the Product of Modern Science? Causality and Chance in Modern and Ancient Science [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Philosophical Investigations, 2021
In the last two centuries, a better understanding of nature and significant advances in science and technology have led to the emergence of new and exciting ideas and approaches. Almost all of them are known as the product of contemporary science.
