ITBench: Evaluating AI Agents across Diverse Real-World IT Automation Tasks

ICML 2025oral

Realizing the vision of using AI agents to automate critical IT tasks depends on the ability to measure and understand effectiveness of proposed solutions. We introduce ITBench, a framework that offers a systematic methodology for benchmarking AI agents to address real-world IT automation tasks. Our…

Learning Granger Causality from Instance-wise Self-attentive Hawkes Processes

AISTATS 2024poster

We address the problem of learning Granger causality from asynchronous, interdependent, multi-type event sequences. In particular, we are interested in discovering instance-level causal structures in an unsupervised manner. Instance-level causality identifies causal relationships among individual ev…

Direction Aware Positional and Structural Encoding for Directed Graph Neural Networks

ICASSP 2023accepted

We propose a novel method for computing joint 2-node structural representations for link prediction in directed graphs. Existing approaches can be grouped into two families. The first group of methods learn structural embeddings of individual nodes in the entire graph through a directed Graph Neural…

Fault Injection Based Interventional Causal Learning for Distributed Applications

AAAI 2023technical

We apply the machinery of interventional causal learning with programmable interventions to the domain of applications management. Modern applications are modularized into interdependent components or services (e.g. microservices) for ease of development and management. The communication graph among…

Directed Graph Auto-Encoders

AAAI 2022technical

We introduce a new class of auto-encoders for directed graphs, motivated by a direct extension of the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm to pairs of node labels. The proposed model learns pairs of interpretable latent representations for the nodes of directed graphs, and uses parameterized graph convolution…

Anomaly Attribution with Likelihood Compensation

AAAI 2021technical

This paper addresses the task of explaining anomalous predictions of a black-box regression model. When using a black-box model, such as one to predict building energy consumption from many sensor measurements, we often have a situation where some observed samples may significantly deviate from thei…

Cardinality-Regularized Hawkes-Granger Model

NeurIPS 2021poster

We propose a new sparse Granger-causal learning framework for temporal event data. We focus on a specific class of point processes called the Hawkes process. We begin by pointing out that most of the existing sparse causal learning algorithms for the Hawkes process suffer from a singularity in maxim…
