The paper introduces CLEAR, a latent Flow Matching framework designed to generate visual counterfactual explanations (VCEs) that alter a classifier’s prediction while preserving realistic and decision‑irrelevant content. CLEAR addresses two main issues in latent‑space VCEs: opposing update directions between latent generation and classifier guidance, and unintended changes from VAE reconstruction. By decomposing classifier guidance into cooperative and conflicting components and selectively attenuating the conflicting part, CLEAR achieves counterfactual quality comparable to image‑space methods while being 2.5× faster.

FCx is a new algorithm that generates counterfactual explanations while explicitly enforcing feasibility constraints. It uses a modified Variational Autoencoder with a multi‑factor loss to produce realistic, low‑cost counterfactuals that satisfy both hard constraints supplied by users and soft constraints inferred via causal inference. Experiments on four public datasets demonstrate that FCx matches state‑of‑the‑art performance across multiple metrics while guaranteeing feasibility.
