为卫星调度提供可信赖的解释,确保每条理由都源自优化模型本身。

Why Not? Solver-Grounded Certificates for Explainable Mission Planning

  • 解释来自优化模型的证书,而非事后拼凑
  • 在15个约束检查中全部正确,7个反事实验证全通过
  • 适合需要高可信度解释的航天任务规划场景

地球观测卫星操作员需要调度决策的合理解释:为何请求被选中、拒绝,或如何调整才能可行。现有方法依赖独立于优化器的事后推理层,存在非因果归因、约束组合遗漏和求解路径依赖问题。本文提出以忠实性为先的方法:每个解释都是从优化模型中直接生成的证书——拒绝时为最小不可行子集,选择时为紧约束与对比权衡,查询时为逆向求解。在具有结构差异约束交互的调度实例上,证书在15个引用约束检查中达到完美保真(15/15),反事实有效性7/7,稳定性(Jaccard = 1.0)在28组种子对中一致;而事后基线在29%情况下产生非因果归因,且所有多因拒绝均遗漏约束组合。扩展性分析表明,最多支持200个订单和30颗卫星,实际提取时间满足运行批次需求。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Operators of Earth observation satellites need justifications for scheduling decisions: why a request was selected, rejected, or what changes would make it schedulable. Existing approaches construct post-hoc reasoning layers independent of the optimizer, risking non-causal attributions, incomplete constraint conjunctions, and solver-path dependence. We take a faithfulness-first approach: every explanation is a certificate derived from the optimization model itself: minimal infeasible subsets for rejections, tight constraints and contrastive trade-offs for selections, and inverse solves for what-if queries. On a scheduling instance with structurally distinct constraint interactions, certificates achieve perfect soundness with respect to the solver's constraint model (15/15 cited-constraint checks), counterfactual validity (7/7), and stability (Jaccard = 1.0 across 28 seed-pairs), while a post-hoc baseline produces non-causal attributions in 29% of cases and misses constraint conjunctions in every multi-cause rejection. A scalability analysis up to 200 orders and 30 satellites confirms practical extraction times for operational batches.
