| 2025 | Score-informed Neural Operator for Enhancing Ordering-based Causal DiscoveryabstractOrdering-based approaches to causal discovery identify topological orders of causal graphs, providing scalable alternatives to combinatorial search methods. Under the Additive Noise Models (ANMs) assumption, recent causal ordering methods based on score matching require an accurate estimation of the Hessian diagonal of the log-densities. However, previous approaches mainly use Stein gradient estimators, which are computationally expensive and memory-intensive. Although DiffAN addresses these limitations by substituting kernel-based estimates with diffusion models, it remains numerically unstable due to the second-order derivatives of score models. To alleviate these problems, we propose Score-informed Neural Operator (SciNO), a probabilistic generative model in smooth function spaces designed to stably approximate the Hessian diagonal and to preserve structural information during the score modeling.
Empirical results show that SciNO reduces order divergence by 42.7% on synthetic graphs and by 31.5% in real-world datasets on average compared to DiffAN, while maintaining memory efficiency and scalability. Furthermore, we propose a probabilistic control algorithm for causal reasoning with autoregressive models that integrates SciNO's probability estimates with autoregressive model priors, enabling reliable data-driven causal ordering informed by semantic information. Consequently, the proposed method enhances causal reasoning abilities of LLMs without additional fine-tuning or prompt engineering.

| 2025 | Pareto Optimal Risk-Agnostic Distributional Bandits with Heavy-Tail RewardsabstractThis paper addresses the problem of multi-risk measure agnostic multi-armed bandits in heavy-tailed reward settings.
We propose a framework that leverages novel deviation inequalities for the $1$-Wasserstein distance to construct confidence intervals for Lipschitz risk measures.
The distributional LCB (DistLCB) algorithm is introduced, which achieves asymptotic optimality by deriving the first lower bounds for risk measure aware bandits with explicit sub-optimality gap dependencies.
The DistLCB is further extended to multi-risk objectives, which enables Pareto-optimal solutions that consider multiple aspects of reward distributions.
Additionally, we provide a regret analysis that includes both gap-dependent and gap-independent bounds for multi-risk settings.
Experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in synthetic and real-world applications. Kyungjae Lee 0001, Dohyeong Kim, Taehyun Cho, Chaeyeon Kim, Yunkyung Ko, Seungyub Han, Seokhun Ju, Dohyeok Lee, Sungbin Lim |
