Causality Elicitation from Large Language Models

Takashi Kameyama, Masahiro Kato, Yasuko Hio +2

Large language models (LLMs) are trained on enormous amounts of data and encode knowledge in their parameters. We propose a pipeline to elicit causal relationships from LLMs. Speci…

genriesz: A Python Package for Automatic Debiased Machine Learning with Generalized Riesz Regression

Masahiro Kato

Efficient estimation of causal and structural parameters can be automated using the Riesz representation theorem and debiased machine learning (DML). We present genriesz, an open-s…

Riesz Regression As Direct Density Ratio Estimation

Masahiro Kato

This study clarifies the relationship between Riesz regression [Chernozhukov et al., 2021] and density ratio estimation (DRE) in causal inference problems, such as average treatmen…

Direct Debiased Machine Learning via Bregman Divergence Minimization

Masahiro Kato

We develop a direct debiased machine learning framework comprising Neyman targeted estimation and generalized Riesz regression. Our framework unifies Riesz regression for automatic…

Nearest Neighbor Matching as Least Squares Density Ratio Estimation and Riesz Regression

Masahiro Kato

This study proves that Nearest Neighbor (NN) matching can be interpreted as an instance of Riesz regression for automatic debiased machine learning. Lin et al. (2023) shows that NN…
