• Abstract: We describe some recent approaches to score-based explanations for query answers in databases. The focus is on work done by the author and collaborators. Special emphasis is placed on the use of counterfactual reasoning for score specification and computation. Several examples that illustrate the flexibility of these methods are shown.

  We describe recent research on the use of actual causality in the definition of responsibility scores in databases. In the case of databases, useful connections with database repairs are illustrated and exploited. For classification models, the responsibility score is properly extended and illustrated.

  We propose TAT-DQA, i.e. to answer the question over a visually-rich table-text document. Specifically, we propose a novel Doc2SoarGraph framework with enhanced discrete reasoning capability. We conduct extensive experiments on TAT-DQA dataset, and the results show that our proposed framework outperforms the best baseline model by 17.73% and 16.91% in terms of Exact Match (EM) and F1 score respectively on the test set.

  Existing work relies heavily on retrieval-style methods for estimating the relevance between queries and text segments. We propose a coarse-to-fine modeling framework which introduces separate modules for estimating whether segments are relevant to the query. We demonstrate that our framework outperforms strong comparison systems on standard QFS benchmarks.
