Causal Effect Estimation with Variational AutoEncoder and the Front Door Criterion
In practice, it is often difficult to identify the set of variables used for front-door adjustment from data.
Linking a predictive model to causal effect estimation
This paper first tackles the challenge of estimating the causal effect of any feature (as the treatment) on the outcome w. r. t.
Disentangled Representation for Causal Mediation Analysis
Causal mediation analysis is a method that is often used to reveal direct and indirect effects.
Causal Inference with Conditional Instruments using Deep Generative Models
The instrumental variable (IV) approach is a widely used way to estimate the causal effects of a treatment on an outcome of interest from observational data with latent confounders.
Data-Driven Causal Effect Estimation Based on Graphical Causal Modelling: A Survey
In recent years, research has emerged to use a search strategy based on graphical causal modelling to discover useful knowledge from data for causal effect estimation, with some mild assumptions, and has shown promose in tackling the practical challenge.
Disentangled Representation with Causal Constraints for Counterfactual Fairness
Much research has been devoted to the problem of learning fair representations; however, they do not explicitly the relationship between latent representations.
Explanatory causal effects for model agnostic explanations
This paper studies the problem of estimating the contributions of features to the prediction of a specific instance by a machine learning model and the overall contribution of a feature to the model.
Discovering Ancestral Instrumental Variables for Causal Inference from Observational Data
Based on the theory, we propose a data-driven algorithm to discover a pair of IVs from data.
Ancestral instrument method for causal inference without a causal graph
Conditional IV has been proposed to relax the requirement of standard IV by conditioning on a set of observed variables (known as a conditioning set for a conditional IV).
Dependency-based Anomaly Detection: Framework, Methods and Benchmark
To show the effectiveness of DepAD, we compare two DepAD methods with nine state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods, and the results show that DepAD methods outperform comparison methods in most cases.
Assessing Classifier Fairness with Collider Bias
The increasing application of machine learning techniques in everyday decision-making processes has brought concerns about the fairness of algorithmic decision-making.
Sufficient Dimension Reduction for Average Causal Effect Estimation
Having a large number of covariates can have a negative impact on the quality of causal effect estimation since confounding adjustment becomes unreliable when the number of covariates is large relative to the samples available.
A general framework for causal classification
We also propose a general framework for causal classification, by using off-the-shelf supervised methods for flexible implementations.
Towards unique and unbiased causal effect estimation from data with hidden variables
Based on the theorems, two algorithms are proposed for finding the proper adjustment sets from data with hidden variables to obtain unbiased and unique causal effect estimation.
Causal query in observational data with hidden variables
In this paper, we develop a theorem for using local search to find a superset of the adjustment (or confounding) variables for causal effect estimation from observational data under a realistic pretreatment assumption.
Linking Graph Entities with Multiplicity and Provenance
The graph model is versatile, thus, it is capable of handling multiple values for an attribute or a relationship, as well as the provenance descriptions of the values.
Identify treatment effect patterns for personalised decisions
The existing interpretable modelling methods take a top-down approach to search for subgroups with heterogeneous treatment effects and they may miss the most specific and relevant context for an individual.
An exploration of algorithmic discrimination in data and classification
The paper uses real world data sets to demonstrate the existence of discrimination and the independence between the discrimination of data sets and the discrimination of classification models.
FairMod - Making Predictive Models Discrimination Aware
It models the post-processing of predictions problem as a nonlinear optimization problem to find best adjustments to the predictions so that the discrimination constraints of all protected variables are all met at the same time.
Building Diversified Multiple Trees for Classification in High Dimensional Noisy Biomedical Data
It is common that a trained classification model is applied to the operating data that is deviated from the training data because of noise.
Causal Decision Trees
Classification methods are fast and they could be practical substitutes for finding causal signals in data.
From Observational Studies to Causal Rule Mining
Specifically, association rule mining can be used to deal with the high-dimensionality problem while observational studies can be utilised to eliminate non-causal associations.
