Dynamica causal Bayesian optimisation

Overview

Dynamic Causal Bayesian Optimization

This is a Python implementation of Dynamic Causal Bayesian Optimization as presented at NeurIPS 2021.

Abstract

This paper studies the problem of performing a sequence of optimal interventions in a causal dynamical system where both the target variable of interest and the inputs evolve over time. This problem arises in a variety of domains e.g. system biology and operational research. Dynamic Causal Bayesian Optimization (DCBO) brings together ideas from sequential decision making, causal inference and Gaussian process (GP) emulation. DCBO is useful in scenarios where all causal effects in a graph are changing over time. At every time step DCBO identifies a local optimal intervention by integrating both observational and past interventional data collected from the system. We give theoretical results detailing how one can transfer interventional information across time steps and define a dynamic causal GP model which can be used to quantify uncertainty and find optimal interventions in practice. We demonstrate how DCBO identifies optimal interventions faster than competing approaches in multiple settings and applications.

Demonstration

Installation

Use python > 3.7 and

pip install -r requirements.txt

Tutorials

  • stat_scm.ipynb walks through the basic steps required to run all methods (BO, ABO, CBO and DCBO) on the example SCM shown in figure 1 of the paper (shown above in panel (a)).
  • nonstat_scm.ipynb demonstrates how to run the methods on the SCM with the DAG shown in figure 3(c) of the paper, but over multiple replicates, to allow for confidence bounds over the results.
  • ind_scm.ipynb demonstrates how to run the methods on the SCM with the DAG shown in figure 3(b) of the paper, but over multiple replicates, to allow for confidence bounds over the results. In this notebook we show a more conventional experiment. Importantly we demonstrate it for the SCM in which DCBO was not the most successful method.
