Frequentist Consistency of Prior-Data Fitted Networks for Causal Estimation

ICML 2026poster

Foundation models based on prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have shown strong empirical performance in causal inference by framing it as an in-context learning problem. However, it is unclear whether PFN-based causal estimators provide uncertainty quantification that is consistent with classical fr…

CausalPFN: Amortized Causal Effect Estimation via In-Context Learning

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Causal effect estimation from observational data is fundamental across various applications. However, selecting an appropriate estimator from dozens of specialized methods demands substantial manual effort and domain expertise. We present CausalPFN, a single transformer that *amortizes* this workflo…

Physics Context Builders: A Modular Framework for Physical Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

ICCV 2025poster

Physical reasoning remains a significant challenge for Vision-Language Models (VLMs). This limitation arises from an inability to translate learned knowledge into predictions about physical behavior. Although continual fine-tuning can mitigate this issue, it is expensive for large models and impract…

Sequential Decision Making with Expert Demonstrations under Unobserved Heterogeneity

NeurIPS 2024poster

We study the problem of online sequential decision-making given auxiliary demonstrations from _experts_ who made their decisions based on unobserved contextual information. These demonstrations can be viewed as solving related but slightly different tasks than what the learner faces. This setting a…
