Learning high-dimensional causal effect
The scarcity of high-dimensional causal inference datasets restricts the exploration of complex deep models. In this work, we propose a method to generate a synthetic causal dataset that is high-dimensional. The synthetic data simulates a causal effect using the MNIST dataset with Bernoulli treatment values. This provides an opportunity to study varieties of models for causal effect estimation. We experiment on this dataset using Dragonnet architecture (Shi et al. (2019)) and modified architectures. We use the modified architectures to explore different types of initial Neural Network layers and observe that the modified architectures perform better in estimations. We observe that residual and transformer models estimate treatment effect very closely without the need for targeted regularization, introduced by Shi et al. (2019).

CausalEGM: a general causal inference framework by encoding generative modeling
Although understanding and characterizing causal effects have become essential in observational studies, it is challenging when the confounders are high-dimensional. In this article, we develop a general framework $\text…
Causal InferenceDecoderContrastive representations of high-dimensional, structured treatments
Estimating causal effects is vital for decision making. In standard causal effect estimation, treatments are usually binary- or continuous-valued. However, in many important real-world settings, treatments can be structu…

Recent work on causal abstraction, in particular graphical approaches focusing on causal structure between clusters of variables, aims to summarize a high-dimensional causal structure in terms of a low-dimensional one. E…
Causal Inference from Small High-dimensional Datasets
