Counterfactual Fairness with Disentangled Causal Effect Variational Autoencoder [PDF]

AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2020
The problem of fair classification can be mollified if we develop a method to remove the embedded sensitive information from the classification features. This line of separating the sensitive information is developed through the causal inference, and the

Using multivariable Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of bone mineral density on osteoarthritis risk, independently of body mass index

medRxiv, 2021
OBJECTIVES: Observational analyses suggest that high Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA); it is unclear whether this represents a causal effect or shared aetiology and whether these relationships are body mass index (BMI ...

Causal Effect of Tooth Loss on Functional Capacity in Older Adults in England: A Natural Experiment

Journal of The American Geriatrics Society, 2021
Tooth loss is associated with reduced functional capacity, but so far, there is no relevant causal evidence reported. We investigated the causal effect of tooth loss on the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among older adults in England.
