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 …

Modernizing the Bradford Hill criteria for assessing causal relationships in observational data

LA Cox Jr - Critical reviews in toxicology, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Perhaps no other topic in risk analysis is more difficult, more controversial, or more important
to risk management policy analysts and decision-makers than how to draw valid, correctly …

Nonparametric identifiability of causal representations from unknown interventions

J von Kügelgen, M Besserve… - Advances in …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study causal representation learning, the task of inferring latent causal variables and
their causal relations from high-dimensional functions (“mixtures”) of the variables. Prior …

The causal-neural connection: Expressiveness, learnability, and inference

K **a, KZ Lee, Y Bengio… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
One of the central elements of any causal inference is an object called structural causal
model (SCM), which represents a collection of mechanisms and exogenous sources of …

A survey on causal discovery: theory and practice

A Zanga, E Ozkirimli, F Stella - International Journal of Approximate …, 2022 - Elsevier
Understanding the laws that govern a phenomenon is the core of scientific progress. This is
especially true when the goal is to model the interplay between different aspects in a causal …

Deep learning of causal structures in high dimensions under data limitations

K Lagemann, C Lagemann, B Taschler… - Nature Machine …, 2023 - nature.com
Causal learning is a key challenge in scientific artificial intelligence as it allows researchers
to go beyond purely correlative or predictive analyses towards learning underlying cause …

Learning nonparametric latent causal graphs with unknown interventions

Y Jiang, B Aragam - Advances in Neural Information …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We establish conditions under which latent causal graphs are nonparametrically identifiable
and can be reconstructed from unknown interventions in the latent space. Our primary focus …

Causal discovery in physical systems from videos

Y Li, A Torralba, A Anandkumar… - Advances in Neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Causal discovery is at the core of human cognition. It enables us to reason about the
environment and make counterfactual predictions about unseen scenarios that can vastly …

Causal discovery from soft interventions with unknown targets: Characterization and learning

A Jaber, M Kocaoglu, K Shanmugam… - Advances in neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
One fundamental problem in the empirical sciences is of reconstructing the causal structure
that underlies a phenomenon of interest through observation and experimentation. While …

Structural causal bandits: Where to intervene?

S Lee, E Bareinboim - Advances in neural information …, 2018 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of identifying the best action in a sequential decision-making setting
when the reward distributions of the arms exhibit a non-trivial dependence structure, which …
