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 …

Causal discovery in heterogeneous environments under the sparse mechanism shift hypothesis

R Perry, J Von Kügelgen… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract Machine learning approaches commonly rely on the assumption of independent
and identically distributed (iid) data. In reality, however, this assumption is almost always …

Causal discovery from observational and interventional data across multiple environments

A Li, A Jaber, E Bareinboim - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
A fundamental problem in many sciences is the learning of causal structure underlying a
system, typically through observation and experimentation. Commonly, one even collects …

On the relationship between explanation and prediction: A causal view

AH Karimi, K Muandet, S Kornblith, B Schölkopf… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Being able to provide explanations for a model's decision has become a central requirement
for the development, deployment, and adoption of machine learning models. However, we …

Counterfactual density estimation using kernel Stein discrepancies

D Martinez-Taboada, EH Kennedy - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.16129, 2023 - arxiv.org
Causal effects are usually studied in terms of the means of counterfactual distributions,
which may be insufficient in many scenarios. Given a class of densities known up to …

An efficient doubly-robust test for the kernel treatment effect

D Martinez Taboada, A Ramdas… - Advances in Neural …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
The average treatment effect, which is the difference in expectation of the counterfactuals, is
probably the most popular target effect in causal inference with binary treatments. However …

Identifying Confounding from Causal Mechanism Shifts

S Mameche, J Vreeken… - … Conference on Artificial …, 2024 - proceedings.mlr.press
Causal discovery methods commonly assume that all data is independently and identically
distributed (iid) and that there are no unmeasured confounding variables. In practice, neither …

Confidence and uncertainty assessment for distributional random forests

J Näf, C Emmenegger, P Bühlmann… - Journal of Machine …, 2023 - jmlr.org
