Title: CausalGuard: Conformal Inference under Graph Uncertainty

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.21928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating treatment effects from observational data requires choosing an adjustment set, but valid adjustment depends on an unknown causal graph. Graph misspecification can cause under-coverage, while graph-agnostic conformal wrappers may regain nominal coverage only through large padding. We introduce CausalGuard, a structure-weighted conformal framework that calibrates after aggregating graph-conditional doubly robust pseudo-outcomes. Candidat
