Yujia Zheng (ééšć)
I am a PhD student at CMU,
fortunately advised by Prof. Kun Zhang.
I previously interned at UC Berkeley and NLPR, and was a summer fellow at EPFL.
My research interests lie primarily in the linear span of causality and machine learning. Currently, I mainly study the following topics: causal discovery, causal representation learning, and structure learning. I am also interested in deep learning from a causal view.

causal-learn: Causal Discovery in Python
Documentation, GitHub, Paper
Causal-learn is a Python translation and extension of the Tetrad java code. It offers the implementations of up-to-date causal discovery methods as well as simple and intuitive APIs. Causal-learn is contributed by several groups and I am the main coordinator. This project is under active development, and any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Generalizing Nonlinear ICA Beyond Structural Sparsity
Yujia Zheng,
Kun Zhang
NeurIPS 2023, Oral (AR: 0.6%), arXiv
We establish a set of new identifiability results of nonlinear ICA in the general settings of undercompleteness, partial sparsity and source dependence, and flexible grouping structures.

On the Identifiability of Sparse ICA without Assuming Non-Gaussianity
Ignavier Ng*,
Yujia Zheng*,
Xinshuai Dong,
Kun Zhang
NeurIPS 2023, link
We develop an identifiability theory that relies on second-order statistics without imposing further preconditions on the distribution of sources, by introducing novel assumptions on the connective structure from sources to observed variables.

Partial Identifiability for Domain Adaptation
Lingjing Kong,

Kun Zhang
ICML 2022, Spotlight, arXiv
We show that under reasonable assumptions on the data generating process, as well as leveraging the principle of minimality, we can obtain partial identifiability of the changing and invariant parts of the generating process.

Source Free Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation
Haitao Mao,
Lun Du,
Yujia Zheng,
Qiang Fu,

Dongmei Zhang
WSDM 2024, Oral, arXiv
We propose a new scenario named source free unsupervised graph domain adaptation. In this scenario, the only information we can leverage from the source domain is the well-trained source model, without any exposure to the source graph and its labels.
