Disentangled Instrumental Variables for Causal Inference with Networked Observational Data
Zhirong Huang, Debo Cheng, Guixian Zhang +3
Instrumental variables (IVs) are crucial for addressing unobservable confounders, yet their stringent exogeneity assumptions pose significant challenges in networked data. Existing…
DeNoise: Learning Robust Graph Representations for Unsupervised Graph-Level Anomaly Detection
Qingfeng Chen, Haojin Zeng, Jingyi Jie +2
With the rapid growth of graph-structured data in critical domains, unsupervised graph-level anomaly detection (UGAD) has become a pivotal task. UGAD seeks to identify entire graph…
A Novel Generative Model with Causality Constraint for Mitigating Biases in Recommender Systems
Jianfeng Deng, Qingfeng Chen, Debo Cheng +3
Accurately predicting counterfactual user feedback is essential for building effective recommender systems. However, latent confounding bias can obscure the true causal relationshi…
Toward Fair Graph Neural Networks Via Dual-Teacher Knowledge Distillation
Chengyu Li, Debo Cheng, Guixian Zhang +2
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated strong performance in graph representation learning across various real-world applications. However, they often produce biased predic…
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…
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…
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…
Community-Centric Graph Unlearning
Yi Li, Shichao Zhang, Guixian Zhang +1
Graph unlearning technology has become increasingly important since the advent of the `right to be forgotten' and the growing concerns about the privacy and security of artificial…
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…
