Fed-CausalDiff: Decoupled Synchronization for Federated Do-Simulation and Policy Evaluation
Pengfei Li, Mohammad Khalil
While federated learning enables collaborative modelling on decentralised data, standard methods merely fit historical observations. This purely observational approach is fundament…
Causal Pre-training Under the Fairness Lens: An Empirical Study of TabPFN
Qinyi Liu, Mohammad Khalil, Naman Goel
Foundation models for tabular data, such as the Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network (TabPFN), are pre-trained on a massive number of synthetic datasets generated by structural causal…
Towards Privacy-Preserving Data-Driven Education: The Potential of Federated Learning
Mohammad Khalil, Ronas Shakya, Qinyi Liu
The increasing adoption of data-driven applications in education such as in learning analytics and AI in education has raised significant privacy and data protection concerns. Whil…
Creating Artificial Students that Never Existed: Leveraging Large Language Models and CTGANs for Synthetic Data Generation
Mohammad Khalil, Sam Urmian, Ronas Shakya +1
In this study, we explore the growing potential of AI and deep learning technologies, particularly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Large Language Models (LLMs), for gene…
Can Synthetic Data be Fair and Private? A Comparative Study of Synthetic Data Generation and Fairness Algorithms
Qinyi Liu, Oscar Deho, Sam Urmian +3
The increasing use of machine learning in learning analytics (LA) has raised significant concerns around algorithmic fairness and privacy. Synthetic data has emerged as a dual-purp…
