New research advances causal discovery with LLMs and novel algorithms · 4 sources tracked

Recent research explores advanced techniques for causal discovery, a field focused on inferring cause-and-effect relationships from data. One paper investigates the assumptions embedded in simulated data used for supervised causal discovery, highlighting how these assumptions can influence identifiability and generalization. Another study introduces a method called DISCO that enables causal discovery from count data by adapting score-matching techniques for discrete distributions. Additionally, a paper proposes using large language models to assist in finding instrumental variables for causal inference in economics, accelerating a traditionally heuristic process. Finally, a new score-based method named MARCEDES is presented for learning causal structures with non-Gaussian errors using continuous optimization. AI

    Demistifying Data and Simulator Assumptions in Supervised Causal Discovery

    arXiv:2609.37446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised causal discovery learns to infer causal structure for a new dataset from training datasets paired with structural labels. These training pairs are typically simulated, making the simulator both a source of supervision and…

    Discrete Score Matching Enables Causal Discovery from Count Data

    arXiv:2609.39326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Count data pose a challenge for score-matching-based causal discovery: derivatives are unavailable, and simply replacing them with finite differences does not generally suffice for causal discovery. We generalize SCORE's constant-cu…

    MARCEDES: Score-based causal discovery under non-Gaussianity with continuous optimization

    arXiv:2609.30643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the problem of learning the underlying causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure corresponding to a structural equation model (SEM) with non-Gaussian errors. Motivated by an intentionally misspecified non-Gaussian SE…
