DCRMTA: Deep Causal Representation Learning for Multi-Touch Attribution

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces DCRMTA, an end‑to‑end framework for deep causal representation learning in multi‑touch attribution (MTA). It addresses a flaw in existing deconfounding pipelines that discard user‑related causal signals by explicitly preserving the causal impact of user features. Using structural causal modeling and adaptive counterfactual attention, DCRMTA produces invariant user representations and achieves up to a 5.2% relative improvement in PR‑AUC on real industrial datasets, while offering robust Shapley‑based credit allocations across marketing channels.

Multi-Task Anti-Causal Learning for Reconstructing Urban Events from Residents' Reports

The paper introduces Multi-Task Anti-Causal learning (MTAC), a framework that estimates latent causes from observed effects by exploiting both task-invariant and task-specific structural dependencies. MTAC constructs a structural equation model that separates a shared backbone mechanism from task-specific deviations, then uses maximum a posteriori inference to reconstruct causes. Applied to urban event reconstruction—parking violations, abandoned properties, and unsanitary conditions—MTAC outperforms strong baselines on real data from Manhattan and Newark, achieving up to a 33.04% reduction in mean absolute error.
