New method combines gradient optimization with constraint-based techniques for causal discovery.
problem Causal discovery from observational data, especially with small sample sizes.
method Differentiable d-separation scores using percolation theory and soft logic for gradient-based optimization of conditional independence constraints.

A novel score-based method solves high-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations with improved accuracy and speed.
problem High-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations suffer from the curse of dimensionality, leading to numerical errors and slow sampling.
method Score-based Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) that fit the score function in SDEs, using three methods: Score Matching, Sliced Score Matching, and Score-PINN.
result The score-based method outperforms traditional Monte Carlo and vanilla PINNs in high-dimensional settings, offering faster sampling and reduced errors.
In literature there are several studies on the performance of Bayesian network structure learning algorithms. The focus of these studies is almost always the heuristics the learning algorithms are based on, i.e. the maximisation algorithms (in score-based algorithms) or the techniques for learning the dependencies of e…
Causal modeling has long been an attractive topic for many researchers and in recent decades there has seen a surge in theoretical development and discovery algorithms. Generally discovery algorithms can be divided into two approaches: constraint-based and score-based. The constraint-based approach is able to detect co…
A new method infers causal gene regulatory networks from parallel CRISPR interventions and transcriptomic data.
problem Learning causal gene regulatory networks from observational data is complicated by lack of identifiability and a combinatorial solution space.
method A continuous optimization framework that leverages observational and interventional data to infer a single causal structure, assuming a linear Structural Equation Model (SEM).
result A provably consistent estimator of the true DAG under mild assumptions.
RSGMs extend SGMs to Riemannian manifolds for better data modeling.
problem Current SGMs are limited to Euclidean spaces; RSGMs handle Riemannian manifolds.

We give a new consistent scoring function for structure learning of Bayesian networks. In contrast to traditional approaches to score-based structure learning, such as BDeu or MDL, the complexity penalty that we propose is data-dependent and is given by the probability that a conditional independence test correctly sho…
Three classes of algorithms to learn the structure of Bayesian networks from data are common in the literature: constraint-based algorithms, which use conditional independence tests to learn the dependence structure of the data; score-based algorithms, which use goodness-of-fit scores as objective functions to maximise…
