CausalIQ Projects

The CausalIQ ecosystem consists of several interconnected projects, each focusing on specific aspects of causal discovery and inference. These projects can be used independently or together to create comprehensive causal analysis workflows.

🛠️ Current Projects

📊 CausalIQ Analysis

Tools for analysing and visualising learned causal graphs, including structural metrics, stability assessment, significance tests, and publication-ready tables and charts.

🔢 CausalIQ Data

High-performance implementations of data-related functions, including caching of data, in-memory randomisation and sub-sampling of data, as well as scoring functions (e.g. BIC, BDeu) and independence tests based on the data.

🤖 CausalIQ Workflow

Comprehensive framework for designing, executing, and reproducing causal discovery experiments at scale, with built-in support for distributed computing and result tracking.

🔄 Zenodo Synchronisation

Automated tools for synchronizing research datasets, experiment configurations, and results with Zenodo for scientific transparency and reproducibility and storage of large files.

🚀 Coming Soon

🧪 CausalIQ Papers

Curated collection of experimental setups, benchmark datasets, and published results that enable reproducible research and method comparison.

🧠 CausalIQ Knowledge [starting January 2026]

Novel approaches for integrating Large Language Models and human knowledge with statistical causal discovery, enabling domain knowledge incorporation and natural language explanation of results.

🔍 CausalIQ Discovery

Provides state-of-the-art algorithms for learning causal graph structures from observational data

🔮 CausalIQ Predict

Tools for analyzing and visualizing learned causal graphs, including structural metrics, stability assessment, and publication-ready visualizations.
