- Abstract: Constrained by the lack of model interpretability and a deep understanding of human movement in traditional movement recognition machine learning methods, this study introduces a novel representation learning method based on causal inference to better understand human joint dynamics and complex behaviors. We propose a two-stage framework that combines the Peter-Clark (PC) algorithm and Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to identify and quantify causal relationships between joints. Our method effectively captures interactions and produces interpretable, robust representations. Experiments on the EmoPain dataset show that our causal GCN outperforms traditional GCNs in accuracy, F1 score, and recall, especially in detecting protective behaviors. The model is also highly invariant to data scale changes, enhancing its reliability in practical applications. Our approach advances human motion analysis and paves the way for more adaptive intelligent healthcare solutions.

This study introduces a novel solution, HG-SCM (Heterogeneous Graph as Structural Causal Model)
It can mimic the human perception and decision process through two key steps: constructing intelligible variables based on semantics derived from the graph schema and automatically learning task-level causal relationships among these variables by incorporating advanced causal discovery techniques.
HG-SCM achieved the highest average performance rank with minimal standard deviation, substantiating its effectiveness and superiority in terms of both predictive power and generalizability.

We also design this causal discovery process to be state-dependent, enabling it to model the dynamics in latent causal graphs.
The proposed framework is composed of three parts: a dynamic causal discovery module, a causality encoding module, and a prediction module, and is trained in an end-to-end manner.
