Causal inference is the process ofdetermining the independent, actual effect of a particular phenomenon that is acomponent of a larger system. 其实就是字面意思。 因果推断(Causal Inference)可由两类任务组成: 因果关系挖掘(Causal Discovery):即给定一组数据,挖掘出数据属性的因果图或者因果图的一部分。 因...
本文旨在记录读《A Survey on Causal Inference》综述时的一些笔记,当然也希望能对其他读者有一些帮助 本文内容基本对应原文的Section1-2 Section 1:Introduction 这个section主要是因果推断的一些简要介绍,包括为什么需要因果推断,因果推断主要解决的问题方向等,之后大概说了一下原文结构,这部分不再赘述,有兴趣可以看原论...
Observational studies using causal inference frameworks can provide a feasible alternative to randomized controlled trials. Advances in statistics, machine learning, and access to big data facilitate unraveling complex causal relationships from observational data across healthcare, social sciences, and other ...

In causal inference analysis, it is assumed that all important confounding variables are included in the model. This means that if any variables that impact the exposure and outcome variables are not included as confounding variables, the estimate of the causal effect will be biased. The tool can...
These contributions relate to: (1) evidence about system actors’ own theories of causality; (2) demonstrative examples of causal relationships; (3) evidence about causal mechanisms; (4) evidence about the conditions under which causal mechanisms operate; and (5) inference about causality in ...
We propose a new causal inference method that uses two instances of pre-treatment text data, infers two proxies using two zero-shot models on the separate instances, and applies these proxies in the proximal g-formula. We prove, under certain assumptions about the instances of text and ...
29 May 2019·Victor Veitch,Dhanya Sridhar,David M. Blei· Does adding a theorem to a paper affect its chance of acceptance? Does labeling a post with the author's gender affect the post popularity? This paper develops a method to estimate such causal effects from observational text data, adj...
