Researchers have introduced LoCaLS, a novel algorithm for local causal structure learning that addresses limitations in existing methods. Unlike approaches that require learning the entire global causal structure, LoCaLS focuses on a specific target variable, making it computationally more efficient. The algorithm is designed to handle complex real-world scenarios by accommodating latent variables and selection bias, which are often overlooked. Experimental results show that LoCaLS outperforms other local methods in accuracy and is significantly faster than global methods, with successful applications in biological data analysis. AI
