Integration of large-scale community-developed causal loop diagrams: a Natural Language Processing approach to merging factors based on semantic similarity.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: Complex public health problems have been addressed in communities through systems thinking and participatory methods like Group Model Building (GMB) and Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) albeit with some challenges. This study aimed to explore ...

DICCR: Double-gated intervention and confounder causal reasoning for vision-language navigation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Vision-language navigation (VLN) is a challenging task that requires agents to capture the correlation between different modalities from redundant information according to instructions, and then make sequential decisions on visual scenes and text ins...

Utilising causal inference methods to estimate effects and strategise interventions in observational health data.

PloS one
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating health interventions but often face ethical and practical challenges. When RCTs are not feasible, large observational data sets emerge as a pivotal resource, though these data s...

Modeling document causal structure with a hypergraph for event causality identification.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Document-level event causality identification (ECI) aims to detect causal relations in between event mentions in a document. Some recent approaches model diverse connections in between events, such as syntactic dependency and etc., with a graph neura...

Machine learning in causal inference for epidemiology.

European journal of epidemiology
In causal inference, parametric models are usually employed to address causal questions estimating the effect of interest. However, parametric models rely on the correct model specification assumption that, if not met, leads to biased effect estimate...

Causality and scientific explanation of artificial intelligence systems in biomedicine.

Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology
With rapid advances of deep neural networks over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now commonplace in many applications in biomedicine. These systems often achieve high predictive accuracy in clinical studies, and increasingly...

Unraveling the determinants of traffic incident duration: A causal investigation using the framework of causal forests with debiased machine learning.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Predicting the duration of traffic incidents is challenging due to their stochastic nature. Accurate predictions can greatly benefit end-users by informing their route choices and safety warnings, while helping traffic operation managers more effecti...

Don't Let Your Analysis Go to Seed: On the Impact of Random Seed on Machine Learning-based Causal Inference.

Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.)
Machine learning techniques for causal effect estimation can enhance the reliability of epidemiologic analyses, reducing their dependence on correct model specifications. However, the stochastic nature of many machine learning algorithms implies that...

Solving the puzzle of quality of life in cancer: integrating causal inference and machine learning for data-driven insights.

Health and quality of life outcomes
BACKGROUND: Understanding the determinants of global quality of life in cancer patients is crucial for improving their overall well-being. While correlations between various factors and quality of life have been established, the causal relationships ...

Causal inference and machine learning in endocrine epidemiology.

Endocrine journal
With the rapid development of computer science, there is an increasing demand for the use of causal inference methods and machine learning in the research of endocrine disorders and their long-term health outcomes. However, studies on the effective a...
