A Meta-Learning Approach to Bayesian Causal Discovery

ICLR 2025poster

Discovering a unique causal structure is difficult due to both inherent identifiability issues, and the consequences of finite data. As such, uncertainty over causal structures, such as those obtained from a Bayesian posterior, are often necessary for downstream tasks. Finding an accurate approximat…

Gridded Transformer Neural Processes for Spatio-Temporal Data

ICML 2025spotlight

Effective modelling of large-scale spatio-temporal datasets is essential for many domains, yet existing approaches often impose rigid constraints on the input data, such as requiring them to lie on fixed-resolution grids. With the rise of foundation models, the ability to process diverse, heterogene…

Approximately Equivariant Neural Processes

NeurIPS 2024poster

Equivariant deep learning architectures exploit symmetries in learning problems to improve the sample efficiency of neural-network-based models and their ability to generalise. However, when modelling real-world data, learning problems are often not *exactly* equivariant, but only approximately. For…

Noise-Aware Differentially Private Regression via Meta-Learning

NeurIPS 2024poster

Many high-stakes applications require machine learning models that protect user privacy and provide well-calibrated, accurate predictions. While Differential Privacy (DP) is the gold standard for protecting user privacy, standard DP mechanisms typically significantly impair performance. One approach…

Translation Equivariant Transformer Neural Processes

ICML 2024poster

The effectiveness of neural processes (NPs) in modelling posterior prediction maps---the mapping from data to posterior predictive distributions---has significantly improved since their inception. This improvement can be attributed to two principal factors: (1) advancements in the architecture of pe…

Causal Reasoning in the Presence of Latent Confounders via Neural ADMG Learning

ICLR 2023poster

Latent confounding has been a long-standing obstacle for causal reasoning from observational data. One popular approach is to model the data using acyclic directed mixed graphs (ADMGs), which describe ancestral relations between variables using directed and bidirected edges. However, existing method…
