Causal InferenceIt is highly recommended to read the review article Causal Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Survey by Jiao et al. and the textbook Causal Inference & Machine Learning by Guo et al. . We also suggest watching the video An Introduction to Causal Inference in One Hour. Additionally, in line with the syllabus of the course Causality taught by Dr. Christina Heinze-Deml, the primary required textbooks and articles are those by Freedman et al \(^{1}\), Shalizi \(^{2}\), Maathuis et al \(^{3}\), Cinelli et al \(^{4}\), Peters et al \(^{5}\) and Shimizu \(^{6}\). A complete collection of these materials (including notes and slides) is available here. The main topics covered, together with their corresponding references, are listed below:
Reading GroupThe reading group runs for 5 weeks from November 26 to December 26, 2025, every Wednesday and Friday from 12:30 to 13:30. Topics 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 will be presented by Yao; Topics 4 and 10 by Tianyuan; Topics 5 and 7 by Sixuan; and Topics 6 and 11 by Xinze. The details are as follows:
Scientific ProblemWe strongly encourage all team members to read the insightful grant proposal by Prof. Xu. We also recommend the following papers for further reading: Causal Attention Deep-Learning Model for Solar Flare Forecasting by Zhang et al., and Causal Attention for Unbiased Visual Recognition by Wang et al..
