Evaluating the quality of a clustering result without access to ground truth labels is fundamental for research in data mining. However, most cluster validation indices (CVIs) do not consider the noise assignments by density-based clustering methods like DBSCAN or HDBSCAN, even though the ability to…
Counterfactual explanations (CFs) help understand machine learning models by identifying minimal input changes that would lead to alternative model outcomes. Recent work demonstrates their utility for reconstructing black-box models, enabling third-party auditing of opaque decision systems for fairn…
Fairness in data mining tasks like clustering has recently become an increasingly important aspect. However, few clustering algorithms exist that focus on fair groupings of data with sensitive attributes. Including fairness in the clustering objective is especially hard for density-based clusterin…
The growing integration of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models into high-stakes domains such as healthcare and scientific research calls for models that are not only accurate but also interpretable. Among the existing explainable methods, counterfactual explanations offer i…
