Counterfactuals, or modified inputs that lead to a different outcome, are an important tool for understanding the logic used by machine learning classifiers and how to change an undesirable classification. Even if a counterfactual changes a classifier's decision, however, it may not affect the true underlying class probabilities, i.e. the counterfactual may act like an adversarial attack and "fool" the classifier. We propose a new framework for creating modified inputs that change the true underlying probabilities in a beneficial way which we call Trustworthy Actionable Perturbations (TAP). This includes a novel verification procedure to ensure that TAP change the true class probabilities instead of acting adversarially. Our framework also includes new cost, reward, and goal definitions that are better suited to effectuating change in the real world. We present PAC-learnability results for our verification procedure and theoretically analyze our new method for measuring reward. We also develop a methodology for creating TAP and compare our results to those achieved by previous counterfactual methods. Copyright 2024 by the author(s)

Harmonic Path Integral Diffusion (H-PID) introduces a novel approach to sampling from complex, continuous probability distributions by creating a time-dependent "bridge" from an initial point to the target distribution. Formulated as a Stochastic Optimal Control problem, H-PID balances control effort and accuracy through a unique three-level integrable structure: Top Level: Potential, force, and gauge terms combine to form a linearly solvable Path Integral Control system based on Green functions. Mid Level: With quadratic potentials and affine force/gauge terms, the Green functions reduce to Gaussian forms, mirroring quantum harmonic oscillators in imaginary time. Bottom Level: For a uniform quadratic case, the optimal drift/control reduces to a convolution of the target distribution with a Gaussian kernel, enabling efficient sampling. Implementation-wise the low-level H-PID operates without neural networks, allowing it to run efficiently on standard CPUs while achieving high precision. Validated on Gaussian mixtures and CIFAR-10 images, H-PID reveals a "weighted state" parameter as an order parameter in a dynamic phase transition, signaling early completion of the sampling process. This feature positions H-PID as a strong alternative to traditional methods sampling, such as simulated annealing, particularly for applications that demand analytical control, computational efficiency, and scalability. In this manuscript, we present a novel approach for sampling from a continuous multivariate probability distribution, which may either be explicitly known (up to a normalization factor) or represented via empirical samples. Our method constructs a time-dependent bridge from a delta function centered at the origin of the state space at t = 0, optimally transforming it into the target distribution at t = 1. We formulate this as a Stochastic Optimal Control problem of the Path Integral Control type, with a cost function comprising (in its basic form) a quadratic control term
In this study, we introduce a novel method for generating new synthetic samples that are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) from high-dimensional real-valued probability distributions, as defined implici...
