Controlling for discrete unmeasured confounding in nonlinear causal models Open
Unmeasured confounding is a major challenge for identifying causal relationships from non-experimental data. Here, we propose a method that can accommodate unmeasured discrete confounding. Extending recent identifiability results in deep l…

Testability of Reverse Causality without Exogeneous Variation Open
This paper shows that testability of reverse causality is possible even in the absence of exogenous variation, such as in the form of instrumental variables. Instead of relying on exogenous variation, we achieve testability by imposing rel…
