Sufficient and Necessary Causal Explanations for Autonomous System Failure Analysis

An arXiv paper proposes distinguishing two goals in autonomous system failure analysis, reproduction and avoidance, and formalizes the concept of "necessary causal explanations," which together with existing "sufficient explanations" forms a unified causal analysis framework. Based on actual causality and causal responsibility, the paper presents an efficient approximation algorithm for generating necessary explanations, evaluates its efficiency across multiple environments, and uses counterfactual generation to verify that it outperforms existing methods on failure avoidance.
