通过团搜索识别非线性且相关的潜在因子结构AI 解读

Learning the structure of latent factor models involves two central challenges: (1) estimating the number of latent factors and (2) learning the support of the mapping from latent variables to observed variables. This is especially challenging for nonparametric regimes and nonlinear settings. We propose a method for latent structure learning, based on pairwise dependence measures on the observed variables using a graph-theoretic representation. We show that both the number…

未知因果图上的因果老虎机：结合后门调整的置信上界AI 解读

The causal bandit problem seeks to identify, through sequential experimentation, an intervention that maximizes the expected reward in a causal system modeled by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Existing methods typically assume that the causal graph is known or impose restrictive structural assumptions. In this paper, we study causal bandit problems when the causal graph is unknown. We first consider Gaussian DAG models without latent confounders. By combining observational…

相依混合数据的因果发现及其在基因调控网络推断中的应用AI 解读

Causal discovery aims to infer causal relationships among variables from observational data, typically represented by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Most existing methods assume independent and identically distributed observations, an assumption often violated in modern applications. In addition, many datasets contain a mixture of continuous and discrete variables, which further complicates causal modeling when dependence across samples is present. To address these…

相依二元数据的因果发现AI 解读

The assumption of independence between observations (units) in a dataset is prevalent across various methodologies for learning causal graphical models. However, this assumption often finds itself in conflict with real-world data, posing challenges to accurate structure learning. We propose a decorrelation-based approach for causal graph learning on dependent binary data, where the local conditional distribution is defined by a latent utility model with dependent errors…

利用似然比评分序贯学习因果图的拓扑排序AI 解读

Causal discovery, the learning of causality in a data mining scenario, has been of strong scientific and theoretical interest as a starting point to identify "what causes what?" Contingent on assumptions and a proper learning algorithm, it is sometimes possible to identify and accurately estimate a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG), as opposed to a Markov equivalence class of graphs that gives ambiguity of causal directions. The focus of this paper is in highlighting the…

广义线性因果网络的分布式学习AI 解读

We consider the task of learning causal structures from data stored on multiple machines, and propose a novel structure learning method called distributed annealing on regularized likelihood score (DARLS) to solve this problem. We model causal structures by a directed acyclic graph that is parameterized with generalized linear models, so that our method is applicable to various types of data. To obtain a high-scoring causal graph, DARLS simulates an annealing process to…
