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 …
