D'ya like dags? a survey on structure learning and causal discovery

MJ Vowels, NC Camgoz, R Bowden - ACM Computing Surveys, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Causal reasoning is a crucial part of science and human intelligence. In order to discover
causal relationships from data, we need structure discovery methods. We provide a review …

Discovering causal relations and equations from data

G Camps-Valls, A Gerhardus, U Ninad, G Varando… - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Physics is a field of science that has traditionally used the scientific method to answer

Learning linear causal representations from interventions under general nonlinear mixing

S Buchholz, G Rajendran… - Advances in …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of learning causal representations from unknown, latent interventions
in a general setting, where the latent distribution is Gaussian but the mixing function is …

Score matching enables causal discovery of nonlinear additive noise models

P Rolland, V Cevher, M Kleindessner… - International …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
This paper demonstrates how to recover causal graphs from the score of the data
distribution in non-linear additive (Gaussian) noise models. Using score matching …

Deep end-to-end causal inference

T Geffner, J Antoran, A Foster, W Gong, C Ma… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Causal inference is essential for data-driven decision making across domains such as
business engagement, medical treatment and policy making. However, research on causal …

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 …

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 …

Assumption violations in causal discovery and the robustness of score matching

F Montagna, A Mastakouri, E Eulig… - Advances in …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
When domain knowledge is limited and experimentation is restricted by ethical, financial, or
time constraints, practitioners turn to observational causal discovery methods to recover the …

Large-scale differentiable causal discovery of factor graphs

R Lopez, JC Hütter, J Pritchard… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
A common theme in causal inference is learning causal relationships between observed
