Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and large models are producing realistic outputs across various domains, such as images, text, speech, and music.
To minimize training expenses, many algorithm developers use data created by the models themselves as a cost-effective training solution.
Not all synthetic data effectively improve model performance, necessitating a strategic balance in the use of real versus synthetic data to optimize outcomes.

The switch from a Model-Centric to a Data-Centric mindset is putting emphasis on data and its quality rather than algorithms.
In particular, the sensitive nature of the information in highly regulated scenarios needs to be accounted for.
A clever way to bypass such a conundrum relies on Synthetic Data: data obtained from a generative process, learning the real data properties.

Counterfactual explanations aim to provide to end users a set of features that need to be changed in order to achieve a desired outcome.
Current approaches rarely take into account the feasibility of actions needed to achieve the proposed explanations.
We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.
