Task-Driven Causal Feature Distillation: Towards Trustworthy Risk Prediction
Since artificial intelligence has seen tremendous recent successes in many areas, it has sparked great interest in its potential for trustworthy and interpretable risk prediction. However, most models lack causal reasoning and struggle with class imbalance, leading to poor precision and recall. To address this, we propose a Task-Driven Causal Feature Distillation model (TDCFD) to transform original feature values into causal feature attributions for the specific risk prediction task. The causal feature attribution helps describe how much contribution the value of this feature can make to the risk prediction result. After the causal feature distillation, a deep neural network is applied to produce trustworthy prediction results with causal interpretability and high precision/recall. We evaluate the performance of our TDCFD method on several synthetic and real datasets, and the results demonstrate its superiority over the state-of-the-art methods regarding precision, recall, interpretability, and causality.

Distilling Causal Effect of Data in Class-Incremental Learning
We propose a causal framework to explain the catastrophic forgetting in Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) and then derive a novel distillation method that is orthogonal to the existing anti-forgetting techniques, such as …

From Fact Overwriting to Knowledge Evolution: Causal Editing via On-Policy Self-Distillation
While Knowledge Editing (KE) enables efficient updates, its dominant Static Fact Overwriting paradigm treats LLMs as discrete databases, forcibly injecting isolated facts. Fracturing pre-trained logical topologies, this …
