 AIRA also formally exists as a PhD course in the Jagiellonian University in the Technical Computer Science program as one of the foundational seminars ([WFAIS.SDSP-IT001.01] and [WFAIS.SDSP-IT001.02]). The students are invited to presents their research plans, as well as to share the progress of their PhD projects. Furthemore, we welcome PhD students from other programs in the JU who are interested in AI. PhD students can participate actively presenting their work and perspectives; however, participation with no presentation is also possible, e.g. for persons who are not computer scientists.

+**Speaker**: Enrique Valero,  PhD Candidate @ Technical University of Madrid
+**Title**: Group counterfactual explanations: State-of-the-art and future research
+**Abstract**:
+Existing methods for group counterfactual explanations often fail to generalize, rely on strict assumptions, or distort group geometry. I explore how to overcome this by learning an optimal transport map that efficiently generates geometry-preserving counterfactuals for any instance without re-optimization, outperforming current baselines across both linear and non-linear models. I also provide insight on future lines of research and applications of (group) counterfactual explanations with respect to the broader state-of-the-art, such as LLMs or industrial applications.
