Rethinking State Disentanglement in Causal Reinforcement Learning
Haiyao Cao, Zhen Zhang, Panpan Cai +7
One of the significant challenges in reinforcement learning (RL) when dealing with noise is estimating latent states from observations. Causality provides rigorous theoretical supp…
An Empirical Examination of Balancing Strategy for Counterfactual Estimation on Time Series
Qiang Huang, Chuizheng Meng, Defu Cao +3
Counterfactual estimation from observations represents a critical endeavor in numerous application fields, such as healthcare and finance, with the primary challenge being the miti…
Boosting Efficiency in Task-Agnostic Exploration through Causal Knowledge
Yupei Yang, Biwei Huang, Shikui Tu +1
The effectiveness of model training heavily relies on the quality of available training resources. However, budget constraints often impose limitations on data collection efforts.…
Optimal Kernel Choice for Score Function-based Causal Discovery
Wenjie Wang, Biwei Huang, Feng Liu +4
Score-based methods have demonstrated their effectiveness in discovering causal relationships by scoring different causal structures based on their goodness of fit to the data. Rec…
Federated Causal Discovery from Heterogeneous Data
Loka Li, Ignavier Ng, Gongxu Luo +5
Conventional causal discovery methods rely on centralized data, which is inconsistent with the decentralized nature of data in many real-world situations. This discrepancy has moti…
