Disentanglement-based methods for learning shared representations are widely used in multimodal sentiment analysis. However, existing methods often overlook potential emotional conflicts across modalities within the same sample. They typically adopt intra-modal reconstruction and rely on similarity
Federated causal discovery for time series is becoming increasingly important in many application domains. In practice, intervention policies on each client often change over time, causing the local underlying causal mechanisms to drift rather than remain fixed. Moreover, different sampling frequenc…
Estimating Individual Treatment Effects (ITE) from observational data is challenging due to confounding bias. Most studies tackle this bias by balancing distributions globally, but ignore individual heterogeneity and fail to capture the local structure that represents the natural clustering among in
Many confounding-resistant domain generalization methods for image classification have been developed based on causal interventions. However, their reliance on strong assumptions limits their effectiveness in handling unobserved confounders. Although recent work introduces instrumental variables (IV…
Existing early and late fusion frameworks in multimodal learning are confronted with the fundamental challenge of modality imbalance, wherein disparities in representational capacities induce inter-modal competition during training. Current research methodologies primarily rely on modality-level con…
Estimating Individual Treatment Effects (ITE) from observational data is challenging due to covariate shift and counterfactual absence. While existing methods attempt to balance distributions globally, they often lack fine-grained sample-level alignment, especially in scenarios with significant indi…
Federated causal structure learning aims to infer causal relationships from data stored on individual clients, with privacy concerns. Most existing methods assume identical variable sets across clients and present federated strategies for aggregating local updates. However, in practice, clients ofte…
We consider the problem of reducing the false discovery rate in multiple high-dimensional interventional datasets under unknown targets. Traditional algorithms merged directly multiple causal graphs learned, which ignores the contradictions of different datasets, leading to lots of inconsistent dire…
In this paper, we consider the problem of lacking theoretical foundation and low execution efficiency of the instance selection methods based on the k-nearest neighbour rule when processing large-scale data. We point out that the core idea of these methods can be explained from the perspective of Ba…
