Learning Causal Bayesian Networks

This workshop will focus on several topics in an area of automated learning and discovery that has flourished in the last several years: causal discovery. Interested participants are encouraged to submit papers on work in progress, some of which will be chosen for discussion during the workshop.

Depending on interest, we will select a subset of the topics below to cover in the workshop. For each topic, a few working papers among those submitted will be distributed beforehand, and a discussion leader will be assigned to lead an hour long discussion on the topic.

Topics

  • Identifying Causal Parameters
  • Handling Latent Variables
  • Computational Methods, i.e., issues of computational efficiency,
  • Model Scoring & Model Selection
  • Modeling Feedback
  • Case Studies
