The Causal Information Bottleneck and Optimal Causal Variable Abstractions

UAI 2025

To effectively study complex causal systems, it is often useful to construct abstractions of parts of the system by discarding irrelevant details while preserving key features. The Information Bottleneck (IB) method is a widely used approach to construct variable abstractions by compressing random v

Domain Adaptation by Using Causal Inference to Predict Invariant Conditional Distributions

NeurIPS 2018poster

An important goal common to domain adaptation and causal inference is to make accurate predictions when the distributions for the source (or training) domain(s) and target (or test) domain(s) differ. In many cases, these different distributions can be modeled as different contexts of a single underl…
