Causal discovery and inference: concepts and recent methodological advances

P Spirtes, K Zhang - Applied informatics, 2016 - Springer
This paper aims to give a broad coverage of central concepts and principles involved in
automated causal inference and emerging approaches to causal discovery from iid data and …

Invariant models for causal transfer learning

M Rojas-Carulla, B Schölkopf, R Turner… - Journal of Machine …, 2018 - jmlr.org
Methods of transfer learning try to combine knowledge from several related tasks (or
domains) to improve performance on a test task. Inspired by causal methodology, we relax …

Causal autoregressive flows

I Khemakhem, R Monti, R Leech… - International …, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
Two apparently unrelated fields—normalizing flows and causality—have recently received
considerable attention in the machine learning community. In this work, we highlight an …

Instance-dependent label-noise learning under a structural causal model

Y Yao, T Liu, M Gong, B Han, G Niu… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Label noise generally degenerates the performance of deep learning algorithms because
deep neural networks easily overfit label errors. Let $ X $ and $ Y $ denote the instance and …

Learning independent causal mechanisms

G Parascandolo, N Kilbertus… - International …, 2018 - proceedings.mlr.press
Statistical learning relies upon data sampled from a distribution, and we usually do not care
what actually generated it in the first place. From the point of view of causal modeling, the …

Causal discovery and forecasting in nonstationary environments with state-space models

B Huang, K Zhang, M Gong… - … conference on machine …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
In many scientific fields, such as economics and neuroscience, we are often faced with
nonstationary time series, and concerned with both finding causal relations and forecasting …

Multi-domain causal structure learning in linear systems

AE Ghassami, N Kiyavash… - Advances in neural …, 2018 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of causal structure learning in linear systems from observational data
given in multiple domains, across which the causal coefficients and/or the distribution of the …

Jacobian-based causal discovery with nonlinear ICA

P Reizinger, Y Sharma, M Bethge… - … on Machine Learning …, 2023 - openreview.net
Today's methods for uncovering causal relationships from observational data either
constrain functional assignments (linearity/additive noise assumptions) or the data …

Which is better for learning with noisy labels: the semi-supervised method or modeling label noise?

Y Yao, M Gong, Y Du, J Yu, B Han… - … on machine learning, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
In real life, accurately annotating large-scale datasets is sometimes difficult. Datasets used
for training deep learning models are likely to contain label noise. To make use of the …

Optimal transport for causal discovery

R Tu, K Zhang, H Kjellström, C Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2201.09366, 2022 - arxiv.org
To determine causal relationships between two variables, approaches based on Functional
Causal Models (FCMs) have been proposed by properly restricting model classes; however …
