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 …

Inferring cause and effect in the presence of heteroscedastic noise

S Xu, OA Mian, A Marx… - … Conference on Machine …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We study the problem of identifying cause and effect over two univariate continuous
variables $ X $ and $ Y $ from a sample of their joint distribution. Our focus lies on the …

Learning causal models under independent changes

S Mameche, D Kaltenpoth… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In many scientific applications, we observe a system in different conditions in which its
components may change, rather than in isolation. In our work, we are interested in …

Adversarial balancing-based representation learning for causal effect inference with observational data

X Du, L Sun, W Duivesteijn, A Nikolaev… - Data Mining and …, 2021 - Springer
Learning causal effects from observational data greatly benefits a variety of domains such as
health care, education, and sociology. For instance, one could estimate the impact of a new …

Discovering fully oriented causal networks

OA Mian, A Marx, J Vreeken - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on …, 2021 - ojs.aaai.org
We study the problem of inferring causal graphs from observational data. We are particularly
interested in discovering graphs where all edges are oriented, as opposed to the partially …

Information-theoretic causal discovery and intervention detection over multiple environments

O Mian, M Kamp, J Vreeken - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on …, 2023 - ojs.aaai.org
Given multiple datasets over a fixed set of random variables, each collected from a different
environment, we are interested in discovering the shared underlying causal network and the …

Three-stage root cause analysis for logistics time efficiency via explainable machine learning

S Hao, Y Liu, Y Wang, Y Wang, W Zhe - Proceedings of the 28th ACM …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
The performance of logistics highly depends on the time efficiency, and hence, plenty of
efforts have been devoted to ensuring the on-time delivery in modern logistics industry …

Towards efficient local causal structure learning

S Yang, H Wang, K Yu, F Cao… - IEEE Transactions on Big …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Local causal structure learning aims to discover and distinguish direct causes (parents) and
direct effects (children) of a variable of interest from data. While emerging successes have …

Robustness of Algorithms for Causal Structure Learning to Hyperparameter Choice

D Machlanski, S Samothrakis… - Causal Learning and …, 2024 - proceedings.mlr.press
Hyperparameters play a critical role in machine learning. Hyperparameter tuning can make
the difference between state-of-the-art and poor prediction performance for any algorithm …

Distinguishing cause from effect using quantiles: Bivariate quantile causal discovery

N Tagasovska, V Chavez-Demoulin… - … on Machine Learning, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
Causal inference using observational data is challenging, especially in the bivariate case.
Through the minimum description length principle, we link the postulate of independence …
