Abstract

Machine learning models have been successfully applied in many situations, often without a critical perspective on these mechanisms. Black box models make it very difficult, if not impossible, to perform counterfactual analysis. Exploring other, more transparent machine learning techniques can be beneficial in situations where scrutinizing the model behind the results is important. In this presentation, we will discuss two perspectives: one based on the analysis of symbolic data and another that introduces a new classification model based on a cloud of spheres.
