A Logical Characterization of Constraint-Based Causal Discovery
We present a novel approach to constraintbased causal discovery, that takes the form of straightforward logical inference, applied to a list of simple, logical statements about ca...

Relational Blocking for Causal Discovery
Blocking is a technique commonly used in manual statistical analysis to account for confounding variables. However, blocking is not currently used in automated learning algorithms...

When causality matters for prediction
Recent evaluations have indicated that in practice, general methods for prediction which do not account for changes in the conditional distribution of a target variable given feat...

Causal Discovery as a Game
This paper presents a game theoretic approach to causal discovery. The problem of causal discovery is framed as a game of the Scientist against Nature, in which Nature attempts to...

Causal Discovery from Streaming Features
In this paper, we study a new research problem of causal discovery from streaming features. A unique characteristic of streaming features is that not all features can be available ...

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...
