利用可处理电路进行因果推断

研究问题
在因果机制未知的情况下,能否将原本计算困难的非参数因果图转化为支持高效推断的表示,并进一步从数据估计参数?
方法与思路
作者从因果角度介绍将非参数因果图编译为算术电路的结果,电路支持按其规模线性计算的推断,也可用于参数估计。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,即使因果图树宽无界,某些情况下电路规模仍可受控,从而使部分此前被认为难以处理的模型获得可处理推断。
阅读关注点
阅读时应核对可编译图的条件、电路构造成本与规模界限,以及线性时间针对哪些查询,参数估计如何处理未知机制。
阅读边界
所用版本为 arXiv 预印本,同行评审及期刊接收未核验;本文介绍既有结果并讨论潜力,摘要未说明因果识别或普遍复杂度保证。

原文摘要

The aim of this paper is to discuss a recent result which shows that probabilistic inference in the presence of (unknown) causal mechanisms can be tractable for models that have traditionally been viewed as intractable. This result was reported recently to facilitate model-based supervised learning but it can be interpreted in a causality context as follows. One can compile a non-parametric causal graph into an arithmetic circuit that supports inference in time linear in the circuit size. The circuit is also non-parametric so it can be used to estimate parameters from data and to further reason (in linear time) about the causal graph parametrized by these estimates. Moreover, the circuit size can sometimes be bounded even when the treewidth of the causal graph is not, leading to tractable inference on models that have been deemed intractable previously. This has been enabled by a new technique that can exploit causal mechanisms computationally but without needing to know their identities (the classical setup in causal inference). Our goal is to provide a causality-oriented exposure to these new results and to speculate on how they may potentially contribute to more scalable and versatile causal inference.
