Using eye-tracking technology, cognitive scientists have obtained the first direct evidence that people use a process called counterfactual simulation to imagine how a situation could have played ...

A novel approach called Counterfactual Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) has been developed to tackle the persistent issue of imbalanced data in healthcare. Traditional models ...

Why a Famous Counterfactual Historian Loves Making History With Games What if the great events in history had turned out differently? How would the world today be changed?

Counterfactual thinking is highly complex cognitively. When it is upward, people imagine things could have been better, and when downward, they imagine things could have been worse.

The learning comes from the logical implications that follow from the counterfactual simulation and If-then statement: "In the future I will take an umbrella when it looks like it will rain".

Abstract As machine learning (ML) models become more widely deployed in high-stakes applications, counterfactual explanations have emerged as key tools for providing actionable model explanations in ...

A new kind of machine-learning model built by a team of researchers at the music-streaming firm Spotify captures for the first time the complex math behind counterfactual analysis, a precise ...

Until now, studies of counterfactual simulation could only use reports from people describing how they made judgments about responsibility, which offered only indirect evidence of how their minds ...
