含交互效应的超高维因果中介分析去偏估计AI 解读

Mediation analysis is a crucial tool for uncovering the mechanisms through which a treatment affects an outcome, providing deeper causal insights and guiding effective interventions. Despite substantial advances in mediation analysis with fixed- or low-dimensional mediators and covariates, estimation and inference for mediation functionals remain limited when both mediators and covariates are ultra-high-dimensional. In this paper, we propose an estimator for the mediation…

MediEncoder：高维因果中介分析的非线性表示学习AI 解读

Causal mediation analysis decomposes a treatment effect into indirect pathways through mediators and direct pathways not operating through them. Modern biomedical studies often involve high-dimensional covariates and mediators that are noisy proxies for lower-dimensional latent biological processes. Existing methods typically rely on sparsity, linear factor models, or ignore the connection among variables in the learned representations, which can be restrictive when…

测量误差与分布迁移下的因果模仿学习AI 解读

We study offline imitation learning (IL) when part of the decision-relevant state is observed only through noisy measurements and the distribution may change between training and deployment. Such settings induce spurious state-action correlations, so standard behavioral cloning (BC) -- whether conditioning on raw measurements or ignoring them -- can converge to systematically biased policies under distribution shift. We propose a general framework for IL under measurement…
