Joint Causal Structure and Cluster Discovery Using Variational Inference
The paper introduces a variational inference framework that jointly discovers latent clusters of variables and the causal relationships among those clusters. It models clusters with categorical distributions and graph structures with Bernoulli distributions, deriving variational lower bounds and estimation techniques for learning both cluster assignments and causal links. The method’s effectiveness is shown on synthetic and real datasets.

Cluster-Dags as Powerful Background Knowledge For Causal Discovery
The paper introduces Cluster-DAGs as a flexible prior knowledge framework to improve causal discovery. It presents two modified constraint‑based algorithms, Cluster‑PC and Cluster‑FCI, tailored for fully and partially observed data. Experiments on simulated data show that these methods outperform baseline algorithms that lack prior knowledge.
