Interpretable Causal Discovery via Causal-Effect Constraints
arXiv:2608. 12640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal discovery aims to uncover the underlying causal relationships given data generated from a system.
Causal Preference Elicitation
arXiv:2602. 01483v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose causal preference elicitation, a Bayesian framework for expert-in-the-loop causal discovery that actively queries local edge relations to concentrate a posterior over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

Epidemiological Causal Graph Identification: Challenges, Identifiability and Algorithms
The paper addresses causal discovery in Directed Acyclic Graphs where nodes are either ordinal (modeled with an ordered logit) or follow a one‑parameter exponential family distribution. It proves that the direction of edges between such nodes is identifiable for generic parameter values, extending prior Ordinal‑Poisson results. The authors also propose a score‑based exhaustive search and a masked continuous optimization method using DAGMA, and demonstrate through simulations that these approaches recover orientations that are otherwise unidentifiable under classical structural equation models.
