Causal Markov condition for submodular information measures
The causal Markov condition (CMC) is a postulate that links observations to causality. It describes the conditional independences among the observations that are entailed by a cau...

Causality Discovery with Additive Disturbances: An Information-Theoretical Perspective
We consider causally sufficient acyclic causal models in which the relationship among the variables is nonlinear while disturbances have linear effects, and show that three princi...

Exploring the causal order of binary variables via exponential hierarchies of Markov kernels
Abstract. We propose a new algorithm for estimating the causal structure that underlies the observed dependence among n (n ≥ 4) binary variables X1, . . . , Xn. Our inference pri...

Semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields for Information Extraction
We describe semi-Markov conditional random fields (semi-CRFs), a conditionally trained version of semi-Markov chains. Intuitively, a semiCRF on an input sequence x outputs a "...

Information-Theoretic Viewpoints on Optimal Causal Coding-Decoding Problems
—In this paper we consider an interacting two-agent sequential decision-making problem consisting of a Markov source process, a causal encoder with feedback, and a causal decoder...
