Counterfactual Samples Constructing and Training for Commonsense Statements Estimation
Chong Liu, Zaiwen Feng, Lin Liu +5
Plausibility Estimation (PE) plays a crucial role for enabling language models to objectively comprehend the real world. While large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable c…
Disentangled Representation Learning for Causal Inference with Instruments
Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li, Lin Liu +4
Latent confounders are a fundamental challenge for inferring causal effects from observational data. The instrumental variable (IV) approach is a practical way to address this chal…
Leaning Time-Varying Instruments for Identifying Causal Effects in Time-Series Data
Debo Cheng, Ziqi Xu, Jiuyong Li +4
Querying causal effects from time-series data is important across various fields, including healthcare, economics, climate science, and epidemiology. However, this task becomes com…
Towards Fair Graph Representation Learning in Social Networks
Guixian Zhang, Guan Yuan, Debo Cheng +3
With the widespread use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for representation learning from network data, the fairness of GNN models has raised great attention lately. Fair GNNs aim t…
Mitigating Dual Latent Confounding Biases in Recommender Systems
Jianfeng Deng, Qingfeng Chen, Debo Cheng +3
Recommender systems are extensively utilised across various areas to predict user preferences for personalised experiences and enhanced user engagement and satisfaction. Traditiona…
Multi-Cause Deconfounding for Recommender Systems with Latent Confounders
Zhirong Huang, Shichao Zhang, Debo Cheng +3
In recommender systems, various latent confounding factors (e.g., user social environment and item public attractiveness) can affect user behavior, item exposure, and feedback in d…
TSI: A Multi-View Representation Learning Approach for Time Series Forecasting
Wentao Gao, Ziqi Xu, Jiuyong Li +6
As the growing demand for long sequence time-series forecasting in real-world applications, such as electricity consumption planning, the significance of time series forecasting be…
Estimating Peer Direct and Indirect Effects in Observational Network Data
Xiaojing Du, Jiuyong Li, Debo Cheng +3
Estimating causal effects is crucial for decision-makers in many applications, but it is particularly challenging with observational network data due to peer interactions. Many alg…
Mitigating Propensity Bias of Large Language Models for Recommender Systems
Guixian Zhang, Guan Yuan, Debo Cheng +3
The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) creates new opportunities for recommender systems, especially by exploiting the side information (e.g., descriptions and analy…
Debiased Contrastive Representation Learning for Mitigating Dual Biases in Recommender Systems
Zhirong Huang, Shichao Zhang, Debo Cheng +3
In recommender systems, popularity and conformity biases undermine recommender effectiveness by disproportionately favouring popular items, leading to their over-representation in…
Causal Effect Estimation using identifiable Variational AutoEncoder with Latent Confounders and Post-Treatment Variables
Yang Xie, Ziqi Xu, Debo Cheng +4
Estimating causal effects from observational data is challenging, especially in the presence of latent confounders. Much work has been done on addressing this challenge, but most o…
Deconfounding Multi-Cause Latent Confounders: A Factor-Model Approach to Climate Model Bias Correction
Wentao Gao, Jiuyong Li, Debo Cheng +7
Global Climate Models (GCMs) are crucial for predicting future climate changes by simulating the Earth systems. However, the GCM Outputs exhibit systematic biases due to model unce…
Interaction-Data-guided Conditional Instrumental Variables for Debiasing Recommender Systems
Zhirong Huang, Debo Cheng, Jiuyong Li +3
It is often challenging to identify a valid instrumental variable (IV), although the IV methods have been regarded as effective tools of addressing the confounding bias introduced…
