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.

Discovering the direct causes and effects of a target variable from observational data is a fundamental problem in causal discovery, with broad applications in domains such as gene regulatory analysis and biomedical research. Existing causal discovery methods either learn a global causal structure, which incurs substantial computational cost, or assume the absence of latent variables and selection bias, assumptions that are often violated in real-world settings.
