New research paper questions do-calculus completeness for causal effect identification

A new paper on arXiv introduces a formal definition for the completeness of do-calculus in causal effect identification. While existing research has shown do-calculus to be sound and complete for specific problems like ID and gID, this work demonstrates its incompleteness for more general problems such as Universal Identifiability (uID). The paper proposes a rigorous formalization for completeness and highlights that the uID problem remains open due to this limitation. AI

    On the Incompleteness of do-calculus for Universal Identifiability

    arXiv:2611.08916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of causal effect identification from an arbitrary set of observational and/or interventional distributions, which we call Universal Identifiability (uID). The uID problem generalizes existing classical identifia…
