Project C05 is concerned with developing the foundations of systems that interactively support users in exploring a decision domain to reach a decision that is explainable and accountable. The focus is on modeling the use of interventional and counterfactual inferences over domain knowledge in an explorative decision-making process. On this basis, a human expert can then be made accountable for her/his decisions. Methodologically, the project brings together semantic models that formalize domain knowledge, probabilistic graphical models (both directed and undirected), and decision process models to support generating both a reasonable decision and a good explanation for it at.
