Seeing Through the Shift: Causality-Inspired Robust Generalized Category Discovery

· 1 citation · 47 references

TL;DR

This work proposes CausalGCD, a causality-inspired framework designed to mitigate domain-shift bias in category discovery and proposes a Causal Geometric Manifold Constraint that enforces invariant manifold-level associations between known and unknown categories across domains, thereby facilitating robust discovery of novel classes.

CausalShift: A Modular, Plugin-Based Framework for Dataset Shift Handling in Machine Learning

CausalShift is proposed, a modular, plugin-based framework for end-to-end dataset shift handling that reduces the in-distribution to out-of-distribution accuracy gap, while remaining competitive on real-world image shift and achieving performance parity with ERM on mild-shift tasks.

Causal Structure-guided Distributionally Robust Optimization under Domain Shifts

Causal Structure-guided DRO (CS-DRO) is proposed, which estimates a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that encodes the predictive relationships between representations and labels, serving as a proxy for causal structure shared across source domains.

Causal Discovery with Inverted Self-attention for Multivariate Time Series

This work introduces a novel inverted causal self-attention mechanism (CSAM) that emphasizes latent and indirect causal relationships by inverting tokens and inducing sparsity in attention scores, focusing on significant causal interactions and reducing spurious correlations.

Chaos Is a LADDER: Domain Generalization Beyond Invariance via Reweighting

Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn from multiple source domains and generalize to unseen target domains. Most DG methods pursue invariance: they seek a causal representation whose prediction rule is invariant across domains. This principle is effective when the causal mechanism is stable, but becomes restrictive...

GENESIS: Towards Explainable Causal Discovery

Causal Discovery (CD) from observational data faces two fundamental challenges. First, purely statistical methods often lack the power to resolve structural ambiguities in low-sample regimes. Second, although LLM-assisted hybrid approaches improve structure recovery through semantic reasoning, the influence of that rea...

A Unified Approach to Interpretable Causal Root Cause Attribution

This work proposes a unified, causally informed attribution approach that integrates structural causal information into the metric-tree decomposition framework and corrects key sources of misalignment in GCM-based causal attributions, substantially improving causal validity while preserving interpretability and fast co...
