Evaluating Black-Box Vulnerabilities with Wasserstein-Constrained Data Perturbations

ArXi:2603.15867v1 Announce Type: new The massive use of Machine Learning (ML) tools in industry comes with critical challenges, such as the lack of explainable models and the use of black-box algorithms. We address this issue by applying Optimal Transport theory in the analysis of responses of ML models to variations in the distribution of input variables. We find the closest distribution, in the Wasserstein sense, that satisfies a given constraintt and examine its impact on model behavior.
