Causal attribution aided by counterfactual reasoning is recognised as a key feature of human explanation. In this paper we propose a post-hoc contrastive explanation framework for reinforcement learning (RL) based on comparing learned policies under actual environmental rewards vs. hypothetical (counterfactual) rewards. The framework provides policy-level explanations by accessing learned Q-functions and identifying intersecting critical states. Global explanations are generated to summarise policy behaviour through the visualisation of sub-trajectories based on these states, while local explanations are based on the action-values in states. We conduct experiments on several grid-world examples. Our results show that it is possible to explain the difference between learned policies based on Q-functions. This demonstrates the potential for more informed human decision-making when deploying policies and highlights the possibility of developing further XAI techniques in RL.
