In cases where multiple counterfactuals are generated for a single instance, they should be diverse to offer distinct and meaningful alternatives [Wachter et al. (2017), Stepin et al. (2020), Verma et al. (2024)].
Diversity is typically quantified by computing pairwise distances among the set of counterfactuals, either as the average pairwise distance [Mothilal et al. (2020), Nguyen and Martínez (2020)], or as the number of counterfactual pairs that exceed a predefined distance threshold [Karimi et al. (2020)].
