Characterization and Learning of Causal Graphs from Hard Interventions

NeurIPS 2025poster

A fundamental challenge in the empirical sciences involves uncovering causal structure through observation and experimentation. Causal discovery entails linking the conditional independence (CI) invariances in observational data to their corresponding graphical constraints via d-separation. In this…

Adaptive Online Experimental Design for Causal Discovery

ICML 2024spotlight

Causal discovery aims to uncover cause-and-effect relationships encoded in causal graphs by leveraging observational, interventional data, or their combination. The majority of existing causal discovery methods are developed assuming infinite interventional data. We focus on interventional data effi…

Partial Structure Discovery is Sufficient for No-regret Learning in Causal Bandits

NeurIPS 2024poster

Causal knowledge about the relationships among decision variables and a reward variable in a bandit setting can accelerate the learning of an optimal decision. Current works often assume the causal graph is known, which may not always be available a priori. Motivated by this challenge, we focus on t…

Sample Efficient Bayesian Learning of Causal Graphs from Interventions

NeurIPS 2024poster

Causal discovery is a fundamental problem with applications spanning various areas in science and engineering. It is well understood that solely using observational data, one can only orient the causal graph up to its Markov equivalence class, necessitating interventional data to learn the complete…

Approximate Allocation Matching for Structural Causal Bandits with Unobserved Confounders

NeurIPS 2023poster

Structural causal bandit provides a framework for online decision-making problems when causal information is available. It models the stochastic environment with a structural causal model (SCM) that governs the causal relations between random variables. In each round, an agent applies an interventio…
