In the citing paper
“This approach is also claimed to set a minimum criterion that an explanation must fulfill: it must favor the probability of the observed event P to all the hypothetical alternatives (Q 1 , Q 2 , . . ., Q n ) [14].”

In the citing paper
“Alternatively, counterfactual explanation is widely addressed in the paradigm of case-based reasoning, i.e., a family of problem solving methods based on appeals to precedent solutions.”

“In addition, contrastive reasoning forms the basis of abductive inference [19], i.e., the process of inferring certain facts that render some observation plausible [20].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
