Towards a Learning Theory of Cause-Effect Inference

We pose causal inference as the problem of learning to classify probability distributions. In particular, we assume access to a collection {(S_i,l_i)}_i=1^n, where each S_i is a sample drawn from the probability distribution of X_i \times Y_i, and l_i is a binary label indicating whether “X_i \to Y_…
