Causal inference in the social sciences
GW Imbens - Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Knowledge of causal effects is of great importance to decision makers in a wide variety of
settings. In many cases, however, these causal effects are not known to the decision makers …

Long-tailed classification by keeping the good and removing the bad momentum causal effect
As the class size grows, maintaining a balanced dataset across many classes is challenging
because the data are long-tailed in nature; it is even impossible when the sample-of-interest …

Unbiased scene graph generation from biased training
Today's scene graph generation (SGG) task is still far from practical, mainly due to the
severe training bias, eg, collapsing diverse" human walk on/sit on/lay on beach" into" human …

Lagged explanatory variables and the estimation of causal effect
MF Bellemare, T Masaki… - The Journal of Politics, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
Lagged explanatory variables are commonly used in political science in response to
endogeneity concerns in observational data. There exist surprisingly few formal analyses or …

Layout-based causal inference for object navigation
Previous works for ObjectNav task attempt to learn the association (eg relation graph)
between the visual inputs and the goal during training. Such association contains the prior …

Do voters polarize when radical parties enter parliament?
Do voters polarize ideologically when radical views gain political legitimacy, or does the rise
of radical voices merely reflect societal conflict? We argue that elite polarization as signaled …

The causal interpretation of estimated associations in regression models
A common causal identification strategy in political science is selection on observables. This
strategy assumes one observes a set of covariates that is, after statistical adjustment …

Causal empiricism in quantitative research
C Samii - The Journal of Politics, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Quantitative analysis of causal effects in political science has trended toward the adoption of
“causal empiricist” approaches. Such approaches place heavy emphasis on causal …

Identifying culture as cause: Challenges and opportunities
Causal inference lies at the core of many scientific endeavours. Yet, answering causal
questions is challenging, especially when studying culture as a causal force. Against this …
