Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Causal structure learning is one of the most exciting new topics in the fields of machine learning and statistics. This talk is an introdution to causal structure learning methods, particularly those based on the linear, non-Gaussian, acyclic model known as LiNGAM. These non-Gaussian data analysis tools can fully estimate the underlying causal structures of variables under assumptions. This feature is in contrast to other approaches. I also discuss an application of causal discovery methods to understanding prediction mechanisms of predictive models.
