State-of-the-art machine learning models often incorporate prior knowledge or structural information about the task or data distribution. In some tasks, such knowledge may arise from first principles or emerge as simplified, learned functions that distill essential aspects of the data distribution.…
Both the marginal contributions needed for the computation of Shapley values and the graph produced by Pearl-Verma theorem rely on the choice of an ordering of the variables. For Shapley values, the marginal contributions are averaged over all orderings, while in causal inference methods, the typica…
Ancestral graphs are a prevalent mathematical tool to take into account latent (hidden) variables in a probabilistic graphical model. In ancestral graph representations, the nodes are only the observed (manifest) variables and the notion of m-separation fully characterizes the conditional independen…
