Unveiling the Structure of Do-Calculus Reasoning via Derivation Graphs

arXiv:2606. 03719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The do-calculus defines a general system of inference for interventional queries, allowing causal quantities to be transformed through successive applications of its rules.

Clustering and Pruning in Causal Data Fusion

arXiv:2505. 15215v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data fusion, the process of combining observational and experimental data, can enable the identification of causal effects that would otherwise remain non-identifiable.

Lifted Causal Inference

arXiv:2606. 28024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lifted inference exploits indistinguishabilities in probabilistic graphical models by using a representative for indistinguishable objects, thereby speeding up query answering while maintaining exact answers.

Decentralized Causal Discovery using Judo Calculus

arXiv:2510. 23942v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We describe a theory and implementation of an intuitionistic decentralized framework for causal discovery using judo calculus, which is formally defined as j-stable causal inference using j-do-calculus in a topos of sheaves.

Causal Density Functions

arXiv:2606. 00754v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce causal density functions: Radon-Nikodym derivatives that compare interventional laws to observational laws and therefore act as local density ratios for causal effects.

Latent Confounded Causal Discovery via Lie Bracket Geometry

arXiv:2606. 19610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work on Kan-Do-Calculus (KDC) has established that the boundary between passive observation and active intervention in causal inference is a category-theoretic bi-adjunction, with interventions modeled by left Kan extensions and conditioning by right Kan extensions.

Unsupervised Causal Abstractions Discovery

arXiv:2606. 19594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal abstractions formalize when a high-level structural causal model (SCM) captures the interventional behavior of a lower-level SCM.
