• Abstract: Categorization of business processes is an important part of auditing. Large amounts of transactional data in auditing can be represented as transactions between financial accounts using weighted bipartite graphs. We view such bipartite graphs as many-valued formal contexts, which we use to obtain explainable categorization of these business processes in terms of financial accounts involved in a business process by using methods in formal concept analysis. We use Dempster-Shafer mass functions to represent agendas showing different interest in different set of financial accounts. We also model some possible deliberation scenarios between agents with different interrogative agendas to reach an aggregated agenda and categorization. The framework developed in this paper provides a formal ground to obtain and study explainable categorizations from the data represented as bipartite graphs according to the agendas of different agents in an organization (e.g. an audit firm), and interaction between these through deliberation. We use this framework to describe a machine-leaning meta algorithm for outlier detection and classification which can provide local and global explanations of its result and demonstrate it through an outlier detection algorithm.

  This paper introduces the first graph-based framework for generating group counterfactual explanations to audit model fairness. Our framework, named Feasible Group Counterfactual Explanations (FGCEs), captures real-world feasibility constraints and constructs subgroups with similar counterfactuals. It also addresses key trade-offs in counterfactual generation, including the balance between the number of counterfactuals, their associated costs, and the breadth of coverage achieved.

• The geometry of financial institutions -- Wasserstein clustering of financial data [0.0]
  We develop methods for condensing granular and big data into a representative and intelligible map. Financial regulation is a field that exemplifies this need, as regulators require diverse and often highly granular data from financial institutions to monitor and assess their activities. We propose a variant of Lloyd's algorithm that applies to probability distributions and uses generalized Wasserstein barycenters to construct a metric space which represents given data in condensed form.
