A Framework for Inferring Causality from Multi-Relational Observational Data using Conditional Independence

no code implementations8 Aug 2017 Sudeepa Roy, Babak Salimi

The study of causality or causal inference - how much a given treatment causally affects a given outcome in a population - goes way beyond correlation or association analysis of variables, and is critical in making sound data driven decisions and policies in a multitude of applications.

Causes for Query Answers from Databases: Datalog Abduction, View-Updates, and Integrity Constraints

no code implementations6 Nov 2016 Leopoldo Bertossi, Babak Salimi

In this work we establish precise connections between QA-causality and both abductive diagnosis and the view-update problem in databases, allowing us to obtain new algorithmic and complexity results for QA-causality.

Graph Neural Network based Double Machine Learning Estimator of Network Causal Effects

no code implementations17 Mar 2024 Seyedeh Baharan Khatami, Harsh Parikh, Haowei Chen, Sudeepa Roy, Babak Salimi

Our paper addresses the challenge of inferring causal effects in social network data, characterized by complex interdependencies among individuals resulting in challenges such as non-independence of units, interference (where a unit's outcome is affected by neighbors' treatments), and introduction of additional confounding factors from neighboring units.
