Major paper update‼️ Our work with @BernhardKainz1 and @quantumciaran has now been published on @NatMachIntell ! And can be read here :https://t.co/rHgQfdVjDZ . In this paper we look how to estimate categorical counterfactuals via deep twin networks 1/4

New work out now! 🚀 "The Hardness of Validating Observational Studies with Experimental Data" explores fundamental limits of combining experimental & observational data, and introduces a novel Gaussian Process approach. #AISTATS2025. #CausalInference #ML https://t.co/QOECYKdwTx

[Athanasios (Thanos) Vlontzos, PhD @vlontzos]

Experiments on simulated and semi-synthetic datasets show our GP method offers superior predictive performance and well-calibrated uncertainty compared to standard approaches. #CausalInference #ML
