Amortized inference for causal structure learning

L Lorch, S Sussex, J Rothfuss… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc

Proximal causal learning with kernels: Two-stage estimation and moment restriction

A Mastouri, Y Zhu, L Gultchin, A Korba… - International …, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
We address the problem of causal effect estima-tion in the presence of unobserved
confounding, but where proxies for the latent confounder (s) areobserved. We propose two …

Causal inference under unmeasured confounding with negative controls: A minimax learning approach

N Kallus, X Mao, M Uehara - arxiv preprint arxiv:2103.14029, 2021 - arxiv.org

Dual instrumental variable regression

K Muandet, A Mehrjou, SK Lee… - Advances in Neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We present a novel algorithm for non-linear instrumental variable (IV) regression, DualIV,
which simplifies traditional two-stage methods via a dual formulation. Inspired by problems …
