Master's thesis in Data & AI: Automated Practicality Evaluation of Counterfactual Explanations Using GPT
Dive into the intersection of AI and human practicality in this thesis. We’re crafting a metric that measures how achievable AI-generated advice is—for real people. Think of it as teaching AI common sense; for instance, you can’t just age a decade instantly. Your challenge: integrate advanced language models like GPT to gauge if a “what if” scenario is useful or just a tech fantasy. Join us in shaping a more sensible, user-centric AI future.

What do you get
A challenging assignment within a practical environment € 1000 compensation, € 500 + lease car or € 600 + living space Professional guidance Courses aimed at your graduation period Support from our academic Research center at your disposal Two vacation days per month
What you will do
65% Research 10% Analyze, design, realize 25% DocumentationCounterfactual explanations are considered an intuitive and user-friendly form of explainable AI. A counterfactual explanation proposes minimal changes to the input data that would lead to a different model output. As an example, a bank could make use of a model to determine if a customer can get a loan or not. If a customer was denied a loan, a counterfactual explanation could tell them that, for instance, “if their savings were increased by 10.000€, they could get the loan”.
However, counterfactual explanations are not aware of the semantics of the input features. It might be that the minimal change for a customer to get a loan is to “increase their age from 25 to 35 years old” which, from a human perspective, is evidently unfeasible in a short time span.
Assignment
In this project, we would like you to design a new evaluation metric to automatically determine the practicality of counterfactuals, that is, how attainable a counterfactual explanation is (or if it is even humanly attainable). Since the determination of practicality involves semantic understanding of the input features, our idea would be to leverage GPT and/or other large language model-based technologies to accomplish this.
A user study could be conducted initially following the methodology proposed by Spreitzer et al (1) to evaluate the practicality of different state-of-the-art counterfactual techniques. The user study can then be extended to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed metric compared to the human evaluations.
