1/ We’re presenting “Typing assumptions improve identification in causal discovery” today at the CausalAssumptions workshop @icmlconf. TLDR: causal discovery -- variable types can help! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2107.10703 @ceer2k @alex_lacoste_ @seblachap @alexandredrouin

5/ We show theoretically and empirically that, in random graphs with a fixed number of types, the equivalence class converges exponentially fast to a singleton as more variables are observed (identification).

6/ We’re actively looking for real-world datasets to apply this work and we’d be happy to hear your suggestions! Key requirement: 1) variables can be segmented into categories 2) categories dictate the plausibility of causal relationships.
