• Abstract: Causal Learner is a toolbox for learning causal structure and Markov blanket (MB) from data. It integrates functions for generating simulated Bayesian network data, a set of state-of-the-art global causal structure learning algorithms, a set of state-of-the-art local causal structure learning algorithms, a set of state-of-the-art MB learning algorithms, and functions for evaluating algorithms. The data generation part of Causal Learner is written in R, and the rest of Causal Learner is written in MATLAB. Causal Learner aims to provide researchers and practitioners with an open-source platform for causal learning from data and for the development and evaluation of new causal learning algorithms. The Causal Learner project is available at http://bigdata.ahu.edu.cn/causal-learner.

  Natural learning processes rely on mechanisms where data representation and learning are intertwined in such a way as to respect locality. We show that the algorithmic interpretation of the derived "laws of learning", which takes the structure of Hamiltonian equations, reduces to Backpropagation when the speed of propagation goes to infinity. This opens the doors to machine learning based on full on-line information that are based the replacement of Backpropagation with the proposed local algorithm.

  We show that prompt-based large language models can operate effectively as weak learners. We incorporate these models into a boosting approach, which can leverage the knowledge within the model to outperform traditional tree-based boosting. Results illustrate the potential for prompt-based LLMs to function not just as few-shot learners themselves, but as components of larger machine learning pipelines.
