Characterization and Learning of Causal Graphs from Hard Interventions
The paper titled "Characterization and Learning of Causal Graphs from Hard Interventions," published on arXiv, addresses the significant challenge of uncovering causal structures in empirical sciences through both observation and experimentation. It emphasizes the connection between conditional independence invariances found in observational data and graphical constraints represented by d-separation. The study particularly focuses on scenarios involving data derived from multiple experimental distributions that result from hard interventions. By analyzing these distributions, the research aims to better understand how causal graphs can be characterized and learned. This approach is crucial for advancing methods in causal inference, especially when dealing with complex datasets generated under different experimental conditions. The work contributes to the broader field of machine learning by providing insights into the interplay between data invariances and causal graphical models.
