A Unified Experiment Design Approach for Cyclic and Acyclic Causal Models

Negar Kiyavash, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Saber Salehkaleybar

We study experiment design for unique identification of the causal graph of a system where the graph may contain cycles. The presence of cycles in the structure introduces major challenges for experiment design as, unlike acyclic graphs, learning the skele ...

Score Matching Enables Causal Discovery of Nonlinear Additive Noise Models

Volkan Cevher, Paul Thierry Yves Rolland

This paper demonstrates how to recover causal graphs from the score of the data distribution in non-linear additive (Gaussian) noise models. Using score matching algorithms as a building block, we show how to design a new generation of scalable causal disc ...

Predicting in Uncertain Environments: Methods for Robust Machine Learning

Paul Thierry Yves Rolland

One of the main goal of Artificial Intelligence is to develop models capable of providing valuable predictions in real-world environments. In particular, Machine Learning (ML) seeks to design such models by learning from examples coming from this same envi ...

Separating Algorithms From Questions and Causal Inference With Unmeasured Exposures: An Application to Birth Cohort Studies of Early Body Mass Index Rebound

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Observational studies reporting on adjusted associations between childhood body mass index (BMI; weight (kg)/height (m)(2)) rebound and subsequent cardiometabolic outcomes have often not paid explicit attention to causal inference, including definition of ...

The Importance of Modeling Data Missingness in Algorithmic Fairness: A Causal Perspective

Naman Goel

Training datasets for machine learning often have some form of missingness. For example, to learn a model for deciding whom to give a loan, the available training data includes individuals who were given a loan in the past, but not those who were not. This ...

Learning Linear Non-Gaussian Causal Models in the Presence of Latent Variables

Negar Kiyavash, Saber Salehkaleybar

We consider the problem of learning causal models from observational data generated by linear non-Gaussian acyclic causal models with latent variables. Without considering the effect of latent variables, the inferred causal relationships among the observed ...

A Bayesian view of doubly robust causal inference

Léo Raymond-Belzile

In causal inference the effect of confounding may be controlled using regression adjustment in an outcome model, propensity score adjustment, inverse probability of treatment weighting or a combination of these. Approaches based on modelling the treatment ...

A Sequential Topic Model for Mining Recurrent Activities from Long Term Video Logs

Jean-Marc Odobez, Jagannadan Varadarajan

This paper introduces a novel probabilistic activity modeling approach that mines recurrent sequential patterns called motifs from documents given as word×time count matrices (e.g., videos). In this model, documents are represented as a mixture of sequenti ...

Bayesian networks as generative models for face recognition

In this thesis, we address the problem of face modelling by using dedicated statistical generative models, with an application to the face authentication task. Face authentication consists in either accepting or rejecting a user's claim supported by its fa ...
