Symmetry-Informed Causal Partial Identification
Uzair Akbar, Zulfiqar Zaidi, Niki Kilbertus +2
Partial identification (PI) entails estimating bounds on causal effects by encoding different assumptions on data generation as a constrained optimization problem. Such bounds can…
OrthoReg: Orthogonal Regularization for Hybrid Symbolic-Neural Dynamical Systems
Till Richter, Niki Kilbertus
Dynamical systems are fundamental to modeling the natural world, yet modeling them involves a persistent trade-off: manually prescribed mechanistic models are interpretable by desi…
Decomposing Ensemble Spread in Lorenz '96 With Learned Stochastic Parameterizations
Birgit Kühbacher, Daan Crommelin, Niki Kilbertus
Weather and climate forecasts are inherently uncertain due to chaotic dynamics, imperfect initial conditions, and incomplete representation of the underlying physical processes. Op…
Limits of Learning Linear Dynamics from Experiments
Aybüke Ulusarslan, Niki Kilbertus, Nora Schneider
Learning governing dynamics from data is a common goal across the sciences, yet it is only well-posed when the underlying mechanisms are identifiable. In practice, many data-driven…
Debiased neural operators for estimating functionals
Konstantin Hess, Dennis Frauen, Niki Kilbertus +1
Neural operators are widely used to approximate solution maps of complex physical systems. In many applications, however, the goal is not to recover the full solution trajectory, b…
Conservative Continuous-Time Treatment Optimization
Nora Schneider, Georg Manten, Niki Kilbertus
We develop a conservative continuous-time stochastic control framework for treatment optimization from irregularly sampled patient trajectories. The unknown patient dynamics are mo…
Graph Distance Based on Cause-Effect Estimands with Latents
Zhufeng Li, Niki Kilbertus
Causal discovery aims to recover graphs that represent causal relations among given variables from observations, and new methods are constantly being proposed. Increasingly, the co…
Predicting symbolic ODEs from multiple trajectories
Yakup Emre Şahin, Niki Kilbertus, Sören Becker
We introduce MIO, a transformer-based model for inferring symbolic ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from multiple observed trajectories of a dynamical system. By combining mu…
An Analysis of Causal Effect Estimation using Outcome Invariant Data Augmentation
Uzair Akbar, Niki Kilbertus, Hao Shen +2
The technique of data augmentation (DA) is often used in machine learning for regularization purposes to better generalize under i.i.d. settings. In this work, we present a unifyin…
Identifiability Challenges in Sparse Linear Ordinary Differential Equations
Cecilia Casolo, Sören Becker, Niki Kilbertus
Dynamical systems modeling is a core pillar of scientific inquiry across natural and life sciences. Increasingly, dynamical system models are learned from data, rendering identifia…
An Asymmetric Independence Model for Causal Discovery on Path Spaces
Georg Manten, Cecilia Casolo, Søren Wengel Mogensen +1
We develop the theory linking 'E-separation' in directed mixed graphs (DMGs) with conditional independence relations among coordinate processes in stochastic differential equations…
Your Assumed DAG is Wrong and Here's How To Deal With It
Kirtan Padh, Zhufeng Li, Cecilia Casolo +1
Assuming a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that represents prior knowledge of causal relationships between variables is a common starting point for cause-effect estimation. Existing l…
Generative Intervention Models for Causal Perturbation Modeling
Nora Schneider, Lars Lorch, Niki Kilbertus +2
We consider the problem of predicting perturbation effects via causal models. In many applications, it is a priori unknown which mechanisms of a system are modified by an external…
