Learning Causal Effects on Hypergraphs

Proceedings of the 28th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2022
Hypergraphs provide an effective abstraction for modeling multi-way group interactions among nodes, where each hyperedge can connect any number of nodes. Different from most existing studies which leverage statistical dependencies, we study hypergraphs from the perspective of causality. Specifically, in this paper, we focus on the problem of individual

Heterogeneity in the Global Practice of Central Nervous System Staging in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

The Effects of Causal Structure on Causal Attribution Judgements.

, 2023
We report two within-subjects experiments exploring the relationship between causal structure and causal attribution judgments. Both experiments comprised scenarios instantiating five unique causal structures: (a) causal chain, (b) positive feedback loop, (c) negative feedback loop, (d) common cause, and (e) common effect.

Estimation of Direct Causal Effects

Epidemiology, 2006
Many common problems in epidemiologic and clinical research involve estimating the effect of an exposure on an outcome while blocking the exposure's effect on an intermediate variable. Effects of this kind are termed direct effects. Estimation of direct effects is typically the goal of research aimed at understanding mechanistic pathways by which an ...

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.
