CollaborativeCausalDiscovery withAtomicInterventions
Asinterventions areexpensive(require carefully controlled experiments) andperforming multiple interventions is time-consuming, an important goal in causal discovery is to design algorithms that utilize simple (preferably, single variable) and fewer interventions [Shanmugam et al.,2015]. However, when there are latents or unobserved variables in the system, in the worst-case, it is not possible to learn the exact causal DAG without intervening on every variable at least once.

We consider the online setting, where the input arrives over time, and irrevocable decisions must be made without knowledge of the future. For all these problems, any online algorithm must incur a cost that is approximately log|I| times the optimal cost in the worst-case, where |I| is the length of theinput.
