B-Learner: Quasi-Oracle Bounds on Heterogeneous Causal Effects Under Hidden Confounding

2 code implementations20 Apr 2023 Miruna Oprescu, Jacob Dorn, Marah Ghoummaid, Andrew Jesson, Nathan Kallus, Uri Shalit

There has been recent progress on robust and efficient methods for estimating the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) function, but these methods often do not take into account the risk of hidden confounding, which could arbitrarily and unknowingly bias any causal estimate based on observational data.

Malign Overfitting: Interpolation Can Provably Preclude Invariance

no code implementations28 Nov 2022 Yoav Wald, Gal Yona, Uri Shalit, Yair Carmon

This suggests that the phenomenon of ``benign overfitting," in which models generalize well despite interpolating, might not favorably extend to settings in which robustness or fairness are desirable.

Quantifying Ignorance in Individual-Level Causal-Effect Estimates under Hidden Confounding

On Calibration and Out-of-domain Generalization

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Yoav Wald, Amir Feder, Daniel Greenfeld, Uri Shalit

In this work, we draw a link between OOD performance and model calibration, arguing that calibration across multiple domains can be viewed as a special case of an invariant representation leading to better OOD generalization.

Conditional Distributional Treatment Effect with Kernel Conditional Mean Embeddings and U-Statistic Regression

no code implementations16 Feb 2021 Junhyung Park, Uri Shalit, Bernhard Schölkopf, Krikamol Muandet

We propose to analyse the conditional distributional treatment effect (CoDiTE), which, in contrast to the more common conditional average treatment effect (CATE), is designed to encode a treatment's distributional aspects beyond the mean.

Using Deep Networks for Scientific Discovery in Physiological Signals

2 code implementations25 Aug 2020 Tom Beer, Bar Eini-Porat, Sebastian Goodfellow, Danny Eytan, Uri Shalit

In this study we propose a method for examining to what extent does a DNN's performance rely on rediscovering existing features of the signals, as opposed to discovering genuinely new features.

CausaLM: Causal Model Explanation Through Counterfactual Language Models

1 code implementation CL (ACL) 2021 Amir Feder, Nadav Oved, Uri Shalit, Roi Reichart

Concretely, we show that by carefully choosing auxiliary adversarial pre-training tasks, language representation models such as BERT can effectively learn a counterfactual representation for a given concept of interest, and be used to estimate its true causal effect on model performance.
