A new machine learning approach has been proposed for inferring causal variables of a target variable from observations.
The approach directly infers a set of causal factors without requiring full causal graph reconstruction, making it computationally efficient for large-scale systems.
The identified causal set includes potential regulators of the target variable, enabling efficient regulation in varying intervention costs and feasibility.
Empirical results demonstrate superior performance in identifying causal relationships within large-scale gene regulatory networks.
