The blessings of multiple causes

Y Wang, DM Blei - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Causal inference from observational data is a vital problem, but it comes with strong
assumptions. Most methods assume that we observe all confounders, variables that affect …

Causal inference for recommender systems

Y Wang, D Liang, L Charlin, DM Blei - … of the 14th ACM Conference on …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
The task of recommender systems is classically framed as a prediction of users' preferences
and users' ratings. However, its spirit is to answer a counterfactual question:“What would the …

Assessing algorithmic fairness with unobserved protected class using data combination

N Kallus, X Mao, A Zhou - Management Science, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
The increasing impact of algorithmic decisions on people's lives compels us to scrutinize
their fairness and, in particular, the disparate impacts that ostensibly color-blind algorithms …

Desiderata for representation learning: A causal perspective

Y Wang, MI Jordan - arxiv preprint arxiv:2109.03795, 2021 - arxiv.org

features of high-dimensional data. This learning problem is often approached by describing …

Time series deconfounder: Estimating treatment effects over time in the presence of hidden confounders

I Bica, A Alaa… - … conference on machine …, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
The estimation of treatment effects is a pervasive problem in medicine. Existing methods for
estimating treatment effects from longitudinal observational data assume that there are no …

Flexible sensitivity analysis for observational studies without observable implications

AM Franks, A D'Amour, A Feller - Journal of the American Statistical …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
A fundamental challenge in observational causal inference is that assumptions about
unconfoundedness are not testable from data. Assessing sensitivity to such assumptions is …
