Reinterpreting demand estimation
This paper connects the literature on demand estimation to the literature on causal inference by interpreting nonparametric structural assumptions as restrictions on counterfactual outcomes. It offers nontrivial and equivalent restatements of key demand estimation assumptions in the Neyman-Rubin potential outcomes model, for both settings with market-level data (Berry and Haile, 2014) and settings with demographic-specific market shares (Berry and Haile, 2024). This exercise helps bridge the literatures on structural estimation and on causal inference by separating notational and linguistic differences from substantive ones.

Your copula is a classifier in disguise: classification-based copula density estimation
We propose reinterpreting copula density estimation as a discriminative task. Under this novel estimation scheme, we train a classifier to distinguish samples from the joint density from those of the product of independe…
Density EstimationDensity Ratio EstimationExplaining Causal Models with Argumentation: the Case of Bi-variate Reinforcement
Causal models are playing an increasingly important role in machine learning, particularly in the realm of explainable AI. We introduce a conceptualisation for generating argumentation frameworks (AFs) from causal models…
Batch Bayesian optimisation via density-ratio estimation with guarantees
Bayesian optimisation (BO) algorithms have shown remarkable success in applications involving expensive black-box functions. Traditionally BO has been set as a sequential decision-making process which estimates the utili…

The predominant method for computing confidence intervals (CI) in few-shot learning (FSL) is based on sampling the tasks with replacement, i.e.\ allowing the same samples to appear in multiple tasks. This makes the CI mi…
