Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution
Zehao Jin, Mario Pasquato, Benjamin L. Davis +9
Correlation does not imply causation, but patterns of statistical association between variables can be exploited to infer a causal structure (even with purely observational data) w…
The search for the lost attractor
Mario Pasquato, Syphax Haddad, Pierfrancesco Di Cintio +8
N-body systems characterized by inverse square attractive forces may display a self similar collapse known as the gravo-thermal catastrophe. In star clusters, collapse is halted by…
Causa prima: cosmology meets causal discovery for the first time
Mario Pasquato, Zehao Jin, Pablo Lemos +2
In astrophysics, experiments are impossible. We thus must rely exclusively on observational data. Other observational sciences increasingly leverage causal inference methods, but t…
Interpretable machine learning for finding intermediate-mass black holes
Mario Pasquato, Piero Trevisan, Abbas Askar +4
Definitive evidence that globular clusters (GCs) host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is elusive. Machine learning (ML) models trained on GC simulations can in principle pred…
