Transporting the Past: An Optimal Transport View of Backtracking Counterfactuals
arXiv:2611.08682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study backtracking counterfactual inference for Structural Causal Models (SCMs) through the lens of optimal transport. In SCMs, a factual observation generally induces a posterior distribution over exogenous variables, making counterfactual inference inherently…
