Causal discovery for linear causal model with correlated noise: an Adversarial Learning Approach
Causal discovery from data with unmeasured confounding factors is a challenging problem. This paper proposes an approach based on the f-GAN framework, learning the binary causal structure independent of specific weight values. We reformulate the structure learning problem as minimizing Bayesian free energy and prove that this problem is equivalent to minimizing the f-divergence between the true data distribution and the model-generated distribution. Using the f-GAN framework, we transform this objective into a min-max adversarial optimization problem. We implement the gradient search in the discrete graph space using Gumbel-Softmax relaxation.

Tensor-based second-order causal discovery
Causal discovery seeks to uncover the causal dependencies among variables. For this purpose, we propose an algorithm called Tensor-based Second-order Causal Discovery (TSCD). Its input is a tensor obtained from the covar…
Computational EfficiencyCross-validating causal discovery via Leave-One-Variable-Out
We propose a new approach to falsify causal discovery algorithms without ground truth, which is based on testing the causal model on a pair of variables that has been dropped when learning the causal model. To this end, …
Causal DiscoveryPredictionScore matching enables causal discovery of nonlinear additive noise models
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 ne…

Causal discovery methods are intrinsically constrained by the set of assumptions needed to ensure structure identifiability. Moreover additional restrictions are often imposed in order to simplify the inference task: thi…
