Orthogonality-Constrained Deep Instrumental Variable Model for Causal Effect Estimation
OC-DeepIV is a neural network model designed for estimating causal effects. It characterizes heterogeneity by adding interaction features and reduces redundancy through orthogonal constraints. The model includes two feature extractors, one for the instrumental variable Z and the other for the covariate X*. The training process is divided into two stages: the first stage uses the mean squared error (MSE) loss function, and the second stage incorporates orthogonal regularization. Experimental results show that this model outperforms DeepIV and DML in terms of accuracy and stability. Future research directions include applying the model to real-world problems and handling scenarios with multiple processing variables.

Disentangled Instrumental Variables for Causal Inference with Networked Observational Data
Instrumental variables (IVs) are crucial for addressing unobservable confounders, yet their stringent exogeneity assumptions pose significant challenges in networked data. Existing methods typically rely on modelling nei…
Causal InferenceLost in Aggregation: The Causal Interpretation of the IV Estimand
Instrumental variable estimation has emerged as a standard approach to mitigating confounding bias in the social sciences and epidemiology, where conducting randomized experiments can be too costly or infeasible. However…
OrthoFormer: Instrumental Variable Estimation in Transformer Hidden States via Neural Control Functions
Transformer architectures excel at sequential modeling yet remain fundamentally limited by correlational learning - they capture spurious associations induced by latent confounders rather than invariant causal mechanisms…
Causal inference with imperfect instrumental variables
Instrumental variables allow for quantification of cause and effect relationships even in the absence of interventions. To achieve this, a number of causal assumptions must be met, the most important of which is the inde…
