TAFFY: A Task-Adaptive Tabular Foundation Model with In-Context Diversity

Recent progress in tabular foundation models suggests that training on synthetic tasks can substantially improve in-context learning capabilities, with overall performance largely depending on how well models can infer task-specific predictive relationships from the available context during inference. In this paper, we...

Disentangling Coarse and Fine Latent Dynamics for Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting

Probabilistic time series forecasting seeks to quantify the uncertainty of future observations. While recent works introduce latent variables to alleviate the spurious dependencies caused by hidden confounders, thereby reducing overly wide confidence intervals, simply incorporating latent factors is not sufficient. Whe...

ChorusTIC: Training-Free Multivariate Time Series Classification via Chorus In-Context Learning

Time series classification underpins applications in healthcare, sensing, and industrial monitoring. Although time series foundation models support forecasting and transferable representation learning, classification still typically requires fitting a task-specific classifier on each target dataset, while individual ch...

Testing the Validity of Instrumental Variable Sets in Causal Additive Models with Non-Constant Effects

Instrumental variable (IV) methods are powerful for causal effect estimation with unmeasured confounding, but in practice researchers often face a set of candidate IVs whose validity is difficult to determine from observational data. This paper studies the problem of testing the validity of IV sets under Causal Additiv...

Hessian Rank Constraint for Learning Structure of Nonlinear Latent Variable Models

A condition called the cross-Hessian Rank Constraint (HRC), which serves as a primitive rank-based tool for nonlinear latent causal discovery, shows that a rank-based property arises from the cross-Hessian of the observed-data log-density in the nonlinear case, revealing information about the latent variables.

Local Causal Structure Learning in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias

LoCaLS is proposed, a local causal structure learning algorithm that is sound and complete under standard assumptions and identifies the same direct causes and effects of a target variable as those identifiable by global causal discovery methods, while allowing for latent variables and selection bias.

CDFM: Towards a General-Purpose Causal Discovery Foundation Model

The Causal Discovery Foundation Model (CDFM) is formulated as a unified, general-purpose framework for zero-shot structural inference, and a principled variational framework that treats unknown causal mechanisms as latent variables and mathematically decomposes the intractable marginal likelihood into distinct, tractab...
