Abstract
A machine learning system receives a witness function that is determined based on an initial sample of a dataset comprising multiple pairs of stimuli and responses. Each stimulus includes multiple features. The system receives a holdout sample of the dataset comprising one or more pairs of stimuli and responses that are not used to determine the witness function. The system generates a simulated sample based on the holdout sample. Values of a particular feature of the stimuli of the simulated sample are predicted based on values of features other than the particular feature of the stimuli of the simulated sample. The system applies the holdout sample to the witness function to obtain a first result. The system applies the simulated sample to the witness function to obtain a second result. The system determines whether to select the particular feature based on a comparison between the first result and the second result.
