Causal Machine Learning: Continuous Structure Learning and Identifiability of Causal Invariances
Published: | 9:31 pm | Posted in: Events
Speaker: Kevin Bello Date: Mar 1, 11:45am–12:45pm Abstract: Interpretability and causality are key desiderata in modern machine learning systems. Graphical models, and more specifically directed acyclic graphs (DAGs, a.k.a. Bayesian networks), serve as a well-established tool for expressing interpretable causal relationships. However, the task of estimating DAG structures from data poses a significant challenge, given […]
