Local Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias

Zheng Li, Hao Zhang, Ruxin Wang, Ruichu Cai, Kun Zhang, Feng Xie

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 globa…

Analogical Deep Research: Retrieving and Integrating Historical Analogies for Foresight Analysis

Yongqiang Chen, Guangyi Chen, Yuewen Sun, Kun Zhang

Systematic comparisons between current situations and structurally similar past events in the historical, i.e., historical analogies, is among the most powerful tools for foresight analysis. In this work, we present a new task called Analogical Deep Research (ADR) to Large Langua…

Requential Coding: Pushing the Limits of Model Compression with Self-Generated Training Data

Shikai Qiu, Marc Finzi, Yujia Zheng, Kun Zhang, Andrew Gordon Wilson

Compression is fundamental to intelligence. A model that can represent its training data as a short code has discovered regularities that enable generalization. Large neural networks may learn functions far simpler than their parameter counts suggest, but it is challenging to con…

CausalGame: Benchmarking Causal Thinking of LLM Agents in Games

Zhenhao Chen, Yongqiang Chen, Chenxi Liu, Junchi Yu, Xiangchen Song, Zijian Li, et al.

Building AI Scientist agents with Large Language Models (LLMs) has recently attracted growing attention. Since scientific discovery fundamentally relies on uncovering causal relationships from observations, the capability of causal thinking, i.e., distinguishing causation from co…

Learning Task-Sufficient World Models by Synergizing Agentic Exploration and Structured Modeling

Fan Feng, Yujia Zheng, Minghao Fu, Yongqiang Chen, Guangyi Chen, Kevin Murphy, et al.

Learning and planning in imagination using world models provides an effective paradigm for training agents for decision-making. However, existing approaches often rely on high-dimensional latent spaces or generic visual embeddings that retain many factors irrelevant to control, l…

MoVA: Learning Asymmetric Dual Projections for Modular Long Video-Text Alignment

Peiyuan Zhu, Shaoan Xie, Zijian Li, Yifan Shen, Namrata Deka, Harsh Shrivastava, et al.

Contrastive pre-training has propelled video-text alignment, yet models often inherit the critical limitations of their image-text predecessors like CLIP, resulting in entangled representations. These challenges are severely exacerbated by two fundamental properties in the video…

Disentangling Continuous-Time Latent Dynamics: Identifiability of Latent SDEs via Diffusion Shifts

Yuanyuan Wang, Wenjie Wang, Haoxuan Li, Mingming Gong, Kun Zhang

Causal representation learning for time series has developed strong identifiability results in discrete-time latent causal models, but identifiability in continuous-time latent stochastic differential equation (SDE) models remains largely open. We address this gap using environme…
