Causal structure learning: A combinatorial perspective

C Squires, C Uhler - Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2023 - Springer
In this review, we discuss approaches for learning causal structure from data, also called
causal discovery. In particular, we focus on approaches for learning directed acyclic graphs …

A theory of continuous generative flow networks

S Lahlou, T Deleu, P Lemos, D Zhang… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Generative flow networks (GFlowNets) are amortized variational inference algorithms that
are trained to sample from unnormalized target distributions over compositional objects. A …

Identifiability guarantees for causal disentanglement from soft interventions

J Zhang, K Greenewald, C Squires… - Advances in …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Causal disentanglement aims to uncover a representation of data using latent variables that
are interrelated through a causal model. Such a representation is identifiable if the latent …

Bayesian structure learning with generative flow networks

T Deleu, A Góis, C Emezue… - Uncertainty in …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
In Bayesian structure learning, we are interested in inferring a distribution over the directed
acyclic graph (DAG) structure of Bayesian networks, from data. Defining such a distribution …

T Deleu, M Nishikawa-Toomey… - Advances in …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets), a class of generative models over discrete
and structured sample spaces, have been previously applied to the problem of inferring the …

Amortized inference for causal structure learning

L Lorch, S Sussex, J Rothfuss… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Inferring causal structure poses a combinatorial search problem that typically involves
evaluating structures with a score or independence test. The resulting search is costly, and …

On the identifiability and estimation of causal location-scale noise models

A Immer, C Schultheiss, JE Vogt… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study the class of location-scale or heteroscedastic noise models (LSNMs), in which the
effect $ Y $ can be written as a function of the cause $ X $ and a noise source $ N …
