Optimal Information Retention for Time-Series Explanations

Published in ICML 2025, 2025

We propose the Optimal Information Retention Principle for time-series explanations, where conditional mutual information defines minimizing redundancy and maximizing completeness as optimization objectives. We introduce the ORTE framework, learning a binary mask to eliminate redundant information while mining temporal patterns of explanations.
