Recursive Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias
Sina Akbari, Ehsan Mokhtarian, AmirEmad Ghassami +1
We consider the problem of learning the causal MAG of a system from observational data in the presence of latent variables and selection bias. Constraint-based methods are one of t…
Information Theoretic Measures for Fairness-aware Feature Selection
Sajad Khodadadian, Mohamed Nafea, AmirEmad Ghassami +1
Machine learning algorithms are increasingly used for consequential decision making regarding individuals based on their relevant features. Features that are relevant for accurate…
The Complexity of Nonconvex-Strongly-Concave Minimax Optimization
Siqi Zhang, Junchi Yang, Cristóbal Guzmán +2
This paper studies the complexity for finding approximate stationary points of nonconvex-strongly-concave (NC-SC) smooth minimax problems, in both general and averaged smooth finit…
Impact of Data Processing on Fairness in Supervised Learning
Sajad Khodadadian, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash
We study the impact of pre and post processing for reducing discrimination in data-driven decision makers. We first analyze the fundamental trade-off between fairness and accuracy…
LazyIter: A Fast Algorithm for Counting Markov Equivalent DAGs and Designing Experiments
Ali AhmadiTeshnizi, Saber Salehkaleybar, Negar Kiyavash
The causal relationships among a set of random variables are commonly represented by a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), where there is a directed edge from variable to variable $Y…
Global Convergence and Variance-Reduced Optimization for a Class of Nonconvex-Nonconcave Minimax Problems
Junchi Yang, Negar Kiyavash, Niao He
Nonconvex minimax problems appear frequently in emerging machine learning applications, such as generative adversarial networks and adversarial learning. Simple algorithms such as…
