Abstract

Machine Learning techniques are powerful in many different domains. For application in sensitive areas where humans are involved, the requirements regarding model understanding are strict. Currently, methods are developed that help understanding and allow drawing conclusions from the observations. Decision plots and counterfactual explanations give information about the model output, the impact of single features can be estimated. This is already a beneficial first step towards model transparency. However, there are no methods yet that use this gained knowledge as a feedback to update the model accordingly in a straight-forward manner.
