A Causal View on Robustness of Neural Networks
We present a causal view on the robustness of neural networks against input manipulations, which applies not only to traditional classification tasks but also to general measurement data. Based on this view, we design a deep causal manipulation augmented model (deep CAMA) which explicitly models possible manipulations on certain causes leading to changes in the observed effect. We further develop data augmentation and test-time fine-tuning methods to improve deep CAMA's robustness. When compared with discriminative deep neural networks, our proposed model shows superior robustness against unseen manipulations. As a by-product, our model achieves disentangled representation which separates the representation of manipulations from those of other latent causes.

Causality in cognitive neuroscience: concepts, challenges, and distributional robustness
While probabilistic models describe the dependence structure between observed variables, causal models go one step further: they predict, for example, how cognitive functions are affected by external interventions that p…
Causal InferenceProvable Guarantees on the Robustness of Decision Rules to Causal Interventions
Robustness of decision rules to shifts in the data-generating process is crucial to the successful deployment of decision-making systems. Such shifts can be viewed as interventions on a causal graph, which capture (possi…
Decision MakingCausal Representation Learning with Observational Grouping for CXR Classification
Identifiable causal representation learning seeks to uncover the true causal relationships underlying a data generation process. In medical imaging, this presents opportunities to improve the generalisability and robustn…
Representation LearningDeconfounding and Causal Regularization for Stability and External Validity
We review some recent work on removing hidden confounding and causal regularization from a unified viewpoint. We describe how simple and user-friendly techniques improve stability, replicability and distributional robust…
