We study counterfactual identifiability in causal models with bijective generation mechanisms (BGM), a class that generalizes several widely-used causal models in the literature. We establish their counterfactual identifiability for three…

We cannot guarantee that training datasets are representative of the distribution of inputs that will be encountered during deployment. So we must have confidence that our models do not over-rely on this assumption. To this end, we…

Real-world datasets are often biased with respect to key demographic factors such as race and gender. Due to the latent nature of the underlying factors, detecting and mitigating bias is especially challenging for unsupervised machine…
