Latent Variable Causal Discovery under Selection Bias
Haoyue Dai, Yiwen Qiu, Ignavier Ng +3
Addressing selection bias in latent variable causal discovery is important yet underexplored, largely due to a lack of suitable statistical tools: While various tools beyond basic…
Higher-Order Causal Structure Learning with Additive Models
James Enouen, Yujia Zheng, Ignavier Ng +2
Causal structure learning has long been the central task of inferring causal insights from data. Despite the abundance of real-world processes exhibiting higher-order mechanisms, h…
Debiasing Reward Models by Representation Learning with Guarantees
Ignavier Ng, Patrick Blöbaum, Siddharth Bhandari +2
Recent alignment techniques, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, have been widely adopted to align large language models with human preferences by learning and leve…
Score-based Greedy Search for Structure Identification of Partially Observed Linear Causal Models
Xinshuai Dong, Ignavier Ng, Haoyue Dai +4
Identifying the structure of a partially observed causal system is essential to various scientific fields. Recent advances have focused on constraint-based causal discovery to solv…
Analytic DAG Constraints for Differentiable DAG Learning
Zhen Zhang, Ignavier Ng, Dong Gong +6
Recovering the underlying Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structures from observational data presents a formidable challenge, partly due to the combinatorial nature of the DAG-constra…
When Selection Meets Intervention: Additional Complexities in Causal Discovery
Haoyue Dai, Ignavier Ng, Jianle Sun +5
We address the common yet often-overlooked selection bias in interventional studies, where subjects are selectively enrolled into experiments. For instance, participants in a drug…
Synergy Between Sufficient Changes and Sparse Mixing Procedure for Disentangled Representation Learning
Zijian Li, Shunxing Fan, Yujia Zheng +6
Disentangled representation learning aims to uncover latent variables underlying the observed data, and generally speaking, rather strong assumptions are needed to ensure identifia…
Permutation-Based Rank Test in the Presence of Discretization and Application in Causal Discovery with Mixed Data
Xinshuai Dong, Ignavier Ng, Boyang Sun +6
Recent advances have shown that statistical tests for the rank of cross-covariance matrices play an important role in causal discovery. These rank tests include partial correlation…
Learning General Causal Structures with Hidden Dynamic Process for Climate Analysis
Minghao Fu, Biwei Huang, Zijian Li +5
Understanding climate dynamics requires going beyond correlations in observational data to uncover the underlying causal process. Latent drivers such as atmospheric processes play…
