Funded Activity Summary

Efficient causal discovery from observational data. Discovering cause-effect relationships is the ultimate goal for many applications. Randomised control trial is the gold standard for discovering causal relationships. However, conducting such trials is impossible in many cases due to cost and/or ethical concerns. In contrast, a large amount of data has been accumulated in all areas. It is desirable to infer causal relationships from data directly and automatically. This project aims to develop fast and scalable data mining methods for identifying causal relationships from large and/or high dimensional data sets. The developed methods will mainly be evaluated in real world biological applications. The research outcomes will be useful in many areas for causal reasoning and decision making.
