• Title: A Review and Roadmap of Deep Causal Model from Different Causal Structures and Representations
• Authors: Hang Chen and Keqing Du and Chenguang Li and Xinyu Yang
• Abstract summary: We redefinition causal data into three categories: definite data, semi-definite data, and indefinite data. Definite data pertains to statistical data used in conventional causal scenarios, while semi-definite data refers to a spectrum of data formats germane to deep learning. Indefinite data is an emergent research sphere inferred from the progression of data forms by us.

• Abstract: The fusion of causal models with deep learning introducing increasingly intricate data sets, such as the causal associations within images or between textual components, has surfaced as a focal research area. Nonetheless, the broadening of original causal concepts and theories to such complex, non-statistical data has been met with serious challenges. In response, our study proposes redefinitions of causal data into three distinct categories from the standpoint of causal structure and representation: definite data, semi-definite data, and indefinite data. Definite data chiefly pertains to statistical data used in conventional causal scenarios, while semi-definite data refers to a spectrum of data formats germane to deep learning, including time-series, images, text, and others. Indefinite data is an emergent research sphere inferred from the progression of data forms by us. To comprehensively present these three data paradigms, we elaborate on their formal definitions, differences manifested in datasets, resolution pathways, and development of research. We summarize key tasks and achievements pertaining to definite and semi-definite data from myriad research undertakings, present a roadmap for indefinite data, beginning with its current research conundrums. Lastly, we classify and scrutinize the key datasets presently utilized within these three paradigms.

  We review the use of diffusion models in time series and S-temporal data, categorizing them by model, task type, data modality, and practical application domain. We categorize diffusion models into unconditioned and conditioned types discuss time series and S-temporal data separately. Our survey covers their application extensively in various fields including healthcare, recommendation, climate, energy, audio, and transportation.

  Non-statistical data (e.g., images, text, etc.) encounters significant conflicts in terms of properties and methods with traditional causal data. We redefine causal data from two novel perspectives and then propose three data paradigms. We implement the above designs as a dynamic variational inference model, tailored to learn causal representation from indefinite data.
