Recursive Causal Discovery

1 code implementation14 Mar 2024 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Sepehr Elahi, Sina Akbari, Negar Kiyavash

Presence and identification of removable variables allow recursive approaches for causal discovery, a promising solution that helps to address the aforementioned challenges by reducing the problem size successively.

Causal Discovery

Learning Causal Graphs via Monotone Triangular Transport Maps

no code implementations26 May 2023 Sina Akbari, Luca Ganassali

We study the problem of causal structure learning from data using optimal transport (OT).

Causal Discovery

Experimental Design for Causal Effect Identification

no code implementations4 May 2022 Sina Akbari, Jalal Etesami, Negar Kiyavash

When such an effect is not identifiable, it is necessary to perform a collection of often costly interventions in the system to learn the causal effect.

A Free Lunch with Influence Functions? Improving Neural Network Estimates with Concepts from Semiparametric Statistics

no code implementations18 Feb 2022 Matthew J. Vowels, Sina Akbari, Necati Cihan Camgoz, Richard Bowden

Unfortunately, they are unlikely to be sufficiently flexible to be able to adequately model real-world phenomena, and may yield biased estimates.

Causal Inference

Recursive Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Sina Akbari, Ehsan Mokhtarian, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

The upper bound of our proposed approach and the lower bound at most differ by a factor equal to the number of variables in the worst case.

A Recursive Markov Boundary-Based Approach to Causal Structure Learning

1 code implementation10 Oct 2020 Ehsan Mokhtarian, Sina Akbari, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

In this paper, we propose a novel recursive constraint-based method for causal structure learning that significantly reduces the required number of CI tests compared to the existing literature.
