QWO: Speeding Up Permutation-Based Causal Discovery in LiGAMs

Neural Information Processing Systems

Causal discovery is essential for understanding relationships among variables of interest in many scientific domains. In this paper, we focus on permutation-based methods for learning causal graphs in Linear Gaussian Acyclic Models (LiGAMs), where the permutation encodes a causal ordering of the variables. Existing methods in this setting do not scale due to their high computational complexity.


Model Shapley: Equitable Model Valuation with Black-box Access Xinyi Xu, Thanh Lam

Neural Information Processing Systems

ML models call for an equitable model valuation method to price them. In particular, we investigate the black-box access setting which allows querying a model (to observe predictions) without disclosing model-specific information (e.g., architecture and parameters). By exploiting a Dirichlet abstraction of a model's predictions, we propose a novel and equitable model valuation method called








A Local Method for Satisfying Interventional Fairness with Partially Known Causal Graphs

Neural Information Processing Systems

To exploit the PDAGs for achieving interventional fairness, previous methods have been built on variable selection or causal effect identification, but limited to reduced prediction accuracy or strong assumptions. In this paper, we propose a general min-max optimization framework that can achieve interventional fairness with promising prediction accuracy and can be extended to maximally oriented PDAGs (MPDAGs) with added background knowledge.
