Topic and motivation



Many important research questions involve causation in systems for which direct 
experimentation is expensive, unethical or quite simply impossible. Examples 
include the Earth system, the human brain, socio-economic systems, epidemiology 
and industrial processes. Research on causal inference aims to provide both 
theoretical foundations and practical methods that can use domain knowledge and 
observational or experimental data to learn and quantify possible causal 
relationships between the variables of interest. Most real world data comes in 
the form of time series, which pose special difficulties for causal inference, 
and have been the subject of statistical study since the beginning of the 20th 
century. To deal with the challenges posed by time series data, several 
theoretical frameworks and practical methods have been developed, each based on 
their own set of underlying assumptions. Some of these approaches rely on the 
theory of continuous-time dynamical systems, others make use of results on 
stochastic processes or adapt the constraint-based approach to causality to 
time series data. Although recent works have made advances on several fronts, 
many challenges remain and causal inference for time series is arguably still a 
relatively underexplored area of research.


In this workshop, we aim to bring together leading researchers and new 
investigators on causal inference for time series, as well as experts in 
dynamical systems and stochastic processes.


We welcome any contributions on ongoing research at the interface of causality 
and time series modeling, including but not limited to:


  *   Causal structure learning on time series data

  *   Causal effect estimation, from adjustment to do-calculus, on time series

  *   Counterfactual reasoning on time series

  *   Interventions for time-dependent causal models

  *   Time series root cause analysis

  *   Causal representation learning for time series

  *   Causal modeling of time-scale or frequency-dependent relations

  *   Frequency-space causal inference and structure learning

  *   Dynamical systems-based causal inference

  *   Stochastic process-based causal inference

  *   Benchmarks simulating real-world challenges

  *   Example applications from different scientific domains (Earth sciences, 
neuroscience, economy, etc)



Submission instructions

We invite submissions on on-going research that have not yet been published in 
a venue with proceedings. While we welcome unfinished work, submissions in this 
track should contain original ideas, new connections between research fields, 
or novel results. The main body of the submission,including figures and tables, 
must not exceed 8 pages plus one additional page for references. There is no 
page restriction for supplementary material. Reviewers will be asked to judge 
the main body of the paper and will not be required to read the supplementary 
material. Papers should be submitted anonymously to the OpenReview submission
