Causal Discovery: What Can We Learn From Heterogeneous Noise?
Alexander Marx, TU Dortmund
Causal discovery aims to learn causal networks, i.e., directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), from observational data. Although the problem is not feasible in the most general form, as it is not possible to infer causal relations from pure correlations, we can define structural assumptions about the functional relations underlying our observed system to …

Traditional inference in (semi-)parametric models, such as generalized linear models, typically assumes that the model is correctly specified and pre-determined. However, this approach is increasingly unsatisfactory because models are often selected adaptively based on the data, introducing unacknowledged uncertainty. Moreover, these models rarely …
