• Abstract: Causal networks are useful in a wide variety of applications, from medical diagnosis to root-cause analysis in manufacturing. In practice, however, causal networks are often incomplete with missing causal relations. This paper presents a novel approach, called CausalLP, that formulates the issue of incomplete causal networks as a knowledge graph completion problem. More specifically, the task of finding new causal relations in an incomplete causal network is mapped to the task of knowledge graph link prediction. The use of knowledge graphs to represent causal relations enables the integration of external domain knowledge; and as an added complexity, the causal relations have weights representing the strength of the causal association between entities in the knowledge graph. Two primary tasks are supported by CausalLP: causal explanation and causal prediction. An evaluation of this approach uses a benchmark dataset of simulated videos for causal reasoning, CLEVRER-Humans, and compares the performance of multiple knowledge graph embedding algorithms. Two distinct dataset splitting approaches are used for evaluation: (1) random-based split, which is the method typically employed to evaluate link prediction algorithms, and (2) Markov-based split, a novel data split technique that utilizes the Markovian property of causal relations. Results show that using weighted causal relations improves causal link prediction over the baseline without weighted relations.

  We propose a set of visual analytics methods that allow humans to participate in the discovery of causal relations associated with windows of time delay. Specifically, we leverage a well-established method, logic-based causality, to enable analysts to test the significance of potential causes. Since an effect can be a cause of other effects, we allow users to aggregate different temporal cause-effect relations found with our method into a visual flow diagram.

We provide a simple approach to translate a graph structure into logical expressions, so that the link prediction task can be converted into a neural logic reasoning problem.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are proposed without considering the distribution shifts between training and testing graphs. In such a setting, GNNs tend to exploit subtle statistical correlations existing in the training set for predictions, even though it is a spurious correlation. We propose a general causal representation framework, called StableGNN, to eliminate the impact of spurious correlations.

  Causal relations are frequently represented by directed graphs, with nodes denoting causes and links denoting causal influence. Common methods used for graphically representing causal scenarios are neurons, truth tables, causal Bayesian networks, cognitive maps and Petri Nets. We will show that, even though the traditional models are able to represent separately some of the properties aforementioned, they fail trying to illustrate indistinctly all of them.
