Causal Discovery Algorithm

Causal discovery algorithms aim to infer cause-and-effect relationships from observational data, moving beyond simple correlations to reveal underlying mechanisms. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of these algorithms, particularly for high-dimensional data and time series, employing methods like constraint-based approaches (e.g., PC algorithm), score-based methods (e.g., GES), and those leveraging linear non-Gaussian acyclic models (LiNGAM) or neural networks. These advancements are significant for diverse fields, enabling more robust causal inference in areas such as biology, healthcare, and engineering, leading to better understanding of complex systems and improved decision-making.
