Causal Discovery with a Mixture of DAGs
Causal processes in biomedicine may contain cycles, evolve over time or differ between populations. However, many graphical models cannot accommodate these conditions. We propose to model causation using a mixture of directed cyclic graphs (DAGs), where the joint distribution in a population follows a DAG at any single point in time but potentially different DAGs across time. We also introduce an algorithm called Causal Inference over Mixtures that uses longitudinal data to infer a graph summarizing the causal relations generated from a mixture of DAGs. Experiments demonstrate improved performance compared to prior approaches.

Causal Structure Discovery from Distributions Arising from Mixtures of DAGs
We consider distributions arising from a mixture of causal models, where each model is represented by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). We provide a graphical representation of such mixture distributions and prove that thi…
RetrievalInterventional Causal Discovery in a Mixture of DAGs
Causal interactions among a group of variables are often modeled by a single causal graph. In some domains, however, these interactions are best described by multiple co-existing causal graphs, e.g., in dynamical systems…
Causal DiscoveryDAG-FM: A Foundation Model for Causal Discovery under Heterogeneous Causal Mechanisms
Causal discovery from observational tabular data remains fundamentally challenging, primarily due to the heterogeneity of underlying causal mechanisms and the high-dimensional combinatorial search space of Directed Acycl…
Cluster-Dags as Powerful Background Knowledge For Causal Discovery
Finding cause-effect relationships is of key importance in science. Causal discovery aims to recover a graph from data that succinctly describes these cause-effect relationships. However, current methods face several cha…
Reinforcement Learning for Causal Discovery without Acyclicity Constraints
Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has proved a promising alternative for conventional local heuristics in score-based approaches to learning directed acyclic causal graphs (DAGs) from observational data. However, the…
