Identifying Causal Subsequent Memory Effects [PDF]
AbstractOver 40 years of accumulated research has detailed associations between neuroimaging signals measured during a memory encoding task and later memory performance, across a variety of brain regions, measurement tools, statistical approaches and behavioral tasks.

Distilling Causal Effect of Data in Class-Incremental Learning [PDF]
We propose a causal framework to explain the catastrophic forgetting in Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) and then derive a novel distillation method that is orthogonal to the existing anti-forgetting techniques, such as data replay and feature/label ...

Data-Driven Causal Effect Estimation Based on Graphical Causal Modelling: A Survey [PDF]
In many fields of scientific research and real-world applications, unbiased estimation of causal effects from non-experimental data is crucial for understanding the mechanism underlying the data and for decision-making on effective responses or ...

Counterfactual Interventions Reveal the Causal Effect of Relative Clause Representations on Agreement Prediction [PDF]
When language models process syntactically complex sentences, do they use their representations of syntax in a manner that is consistent with the grammar of the language? We propose AlterRep, an intervention-based method to address this question. For any

Learning high-dimensional causal effect [PDF]
The scarcity of high-dimensional causal inference datasets restricts the exploration of complex deep models. In this work, we propose a method to generate a synthetic causal dataset that is high-dimensional.

Causal Decision Making and Causal Effect Estimation Are Not the Same... and Why It Matters [PDF]
Causal decision making (CDM) at scale has become a routine part of business, and increasingly, CDM is based on statistical models and machine learning algorithms.

Applying the adjustment set to estimate causal effect of data based on the causal graph model
The purpose of this paper was to introduce the five limitations of the PROC CAUSALGRAPH procedure and estimate the causal effect of the data by using the adjustment set based on the causal graph model.

Causal effective field theories
Physical principles such as unitarity, causality, and locality can constrain the space of consistent effective field theories (EFTs) by imposing two-sided bounds on the allowed values of Wilson coefficients. In this paper, we consider the bounds that arise from the requirement of low-energy causality alone, without appealing to any assumptions about UV

Enhanced causal effect of ecosystem photosynthesis on respiration during heatwaves
Because of global warming, Earth’s ecosystems have been experiencing more frequent and severe heatwaves. Heatwaves are expected to tip terrestrial carbon sequestration by elevating ecosystem respiration and suppressing gross primary productivity (GPP ...
