Regression-Based Estimation of Causal Effects in the Presence of Selection Bias and Confounding #ECMLPKDD JT (tinyurl.com/ytkjjf5z). TLDR: We propose an estimator to recover causal effects (continuous) in the presence of selection bias by including external unbiased data over treatment and proxies.

Skewness-Robust Causal Discovery in Location-Scale Noise Models #icml2026 (tinyurl.com/yufs8sew). TLDR: The paper discusses the issue skewed noise distributions pose for causal discovery and develops a suitable estimator based on the skew-normal distribution.

New papers at #ICML2026 and #ECMLPKDD (ML journal track): While Daniel's paper focussing on skewness-robust estimation in causal discovery got accepted to ICML, Marlies' work on causal inference in the presence of selection bias will be featured in the journal track of this year's ECMLPKDD!

In our previous paper on benchmarking #MutualInformation estimators, we focus on going "beyond normal" distributions. However, it turns out that we can do much more, as we show in our new TMLR paper: "On the Properties and Estimation of Pointwise Mutual Information Profiles" 1/2
