Efficient Identification in Linear Structural Causal Models with Auxiliary Cutsets
We develop a a new polynomial-time algorithm for identification in linear Structural Causal Models that subsumes previous non-exponential identification methods when applied to direct effects, and unifies several disparate approaches to identification in linear systems. Leveraging these new results and understanding, we develop a procedure for identifying total causal effects.

Efficient Identification in Linear Structural Causal Models with Instrumental Cutsets
One of the most common mistakes made when performing data analysis is attributing causal meaning to regression coefficients. Formally, a causal effect can only be computed if it is identifiable from a combination of obse…
Identification and Model Testing in Linear Structural Equation Models using Auxiliary Variables
We developed a novel approach to identification and model testing in linear structural equation models (SEMs) based on auxiliary variables (AVs), which generalizes a widely-used family of methods known as instrument…
Diverse Influence Component Analysis: A Geometric Approach to Nonlinear Mixture Identifiability
Latent component identification from unknown nonlinear mixtures is a foundational challenge in machine learning, with applications in tasks such as disentangled representation learning and causal inference. Prior work in…
Representation LearningCausal InferenceCausal Learning with the Invariance Principle
Causal discovery, the problem of inferring the direction of causality, is generally ill-posed. We use the language of structural causal models (SCM) to show that assuming that the causal relations are acyclic and invaria…
On the Complexity of Identification in Linear Structural Causal Models
Learning the unknown causal parameters of a linear structural causal model is a fundamental task in causal analysis. The task, known as the problem of identification, asks to estimate the parameters of the model from a c…
