CounterFlow：面向视觉反事实的目标条件流匹配框架
CounterFlow: Target-Conditioned Flow Matching for Visual Counterfactuals
AI 导读
论文提出 CounterFlow，一个基于 Conditional Flow Matching 的框架，可将源图像直接引导至用户指定的目标类别，生成视觉反事实解释。它利用目标条件向量场实现高度真实的语义修改，计算开销显著低于传统 GAN 或扩散模型架构。标准基准评测显示，CounterFlow 在视觉真实性和目标类别切换上均达到 SOTA，且直接在原始像素空间工作，更利于实际部署。

Abstract:In eXplainable AI, counterfactual explanations have gained significant traction by offering users direct, intuitive, and actionable insights into model decisions. We introduce CounterFlow, a novel framework based on Conditional Flow Matching that generates visual counterfactual explanations by directly steering a source image toward a user-specified target class. By leveraging target-conditioned vector fields, CounterFlow identifies highly realistic semantic modifications while requiring substantially lower computational overhead than traditional GAN- or diffusion-based architectures. Empirical evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate that CounterFlow achieves state-of-the-art performance in both visual realism and target class switching. By working directly in the raw pixel space, CounterFlow offers a more practical solution for real-world deployment.
