Paper finds provably minimal counterfactual explanations

Not related to the content of the paper (for reasons outlined below) but what is this ?

> Polyhedral geometry can be used to shed light on the behaviour of piecewise linear neural networks, such as ReLU-based architectures. Counterfactual explanations are a popular class of methods for examining model behaviour by comparing a query to the closest point with a different label, subject to constraints.

I swear my brain is degrading daily or every new "paper" that comes out is trying to find a way to be as obtuse as possible.

I could swear "Counterfactual Explanations" is an oxymoron.

> Minimality Guarantees and Targeting Desiderata

Really ?

I didn't think it would be J.P. Morgan Chase that would break my ability to follow a sentence today.

I suspect that by Counterfactual Explanation they mean something like "property A must be X otherwise constraint B is broken".
