    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for determining causal contributions of dimension values to anomalous data based on causal effects of such dimension values on the occurrence of other dimension values from interventions performed in a causal graph. For example, the disclosed systems can identify an anomalous dimension value that reflects a threshold change in value between an anomalous time period and a reference time period. The disclosed systems can determine causal effects by traversing a causal network representing dependencies between different dimensions associated with the dimension values. Based on the causal effects, the disclosed systems can determine causal contributions of particular dimension values on the anomalous dimension value. Further, the disclosed systems can generate a causal-contribution ranking of the particular dimension values based on the determined causal contributions.

    Abstract: A treatment effect system estimates treatment effects by trading off between observational samples and interventional samples to maintain within a budget while providing high confidence. The treatment effect system determines whether to perform interventions by comparing the cost of interventional samples with metrics regarding the joint probability distribution of treatments and their parents in a first set of observational samples. If it is determined to not perform interventions, the treatment effect for each treatment is determined using an estimator that uses the first set of observational samples independent of a second set of observational samples. If it is determined to perform interventions, each treatment is identified as a reliable or unreliable treatment. The treatment effect for reliable treatments is estimated using an estimator that uses the first set of observational samples split into two portions. The treatment effect for unreliable treatments is estimated using interventional samples generated from interventions.

    Abstract: In implementations of systems for predicting a terminal event, a computing device implements a termination system to receive input data defining a period of time and a maximum event threshold. This system uses a classification model to generate event scores for a plurality of entity devices. Each of the event scores indicates a probability of an event occurrence for a corresponding entity device within a period of time. The plurality of entity devices are segmented into a first segment and a second segment based on an event score threshold. Entity devices included in the first segment have event scores greater than the event score threshold and entity devices included in the second segment have event scores below the event score threshold. The termination system generates an indication of a probability that a number of event occurrences for the entity devices included in the second segment exceeds the maximum even threshold within the period of time.

    Abstract: An analytics system jointly predicts values for multiple unobserved individual-level features using aggregate data for those features. Given a dataset, a transformation is applied to individual-level information for the dataset to generate transformed data in a higher dimensional space. Bag-wise mean embeddings are generated using the transformed data. The bag-wise mean embeddings and aggregate data for unobserved individual-level features for the dataset are used to train a model to jointly predict values for the unobserved individual-features for data instances. In particular, a given data instance can be transformed to a representation in a higher dimensional space. Given this representation, the trained model predicts values for the unobserved individual-level features for the data instance, and the data instance can be augmented with the predicted values.

    Abstract: An analytics system identifies interventions for individual samples from a set of samples with a mixture of interventions. Given a causal graph, a set of baseline samples, and a set of samples with interventions, a set of intervention tuples is determined that represents the mixture of interventions for the set of samples with interventions. Each intervention tuple in the set of intervention tuples identifies an intervention and a mixing coefficient representing a percentage of samples with the intervention. An iterative process is used in which a set of intervention tuples is determined for N variables and then lifted to a set of intervention tuples for N+1 variables until all variables from the causal graph have been considered, providing a final set of intervention tuples. The final set of intervention tuples is used to match individual samples from the set of samples with interventions to interventions.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for causal multi-touch attribution are described. One or more aspects of the apparatus and method include a time series component configured to generate an ordered series representing a plurality of precursor events corresponding to a result event, wherein each of the precursor events is associated with an event category from a set of event categories; a temporal convolution network configured to generate a series of predictive values corresponding to the plurality of precursor events by computing a plurality of hidden vector representations for at least one of the precursor events; and an attribution component configured to compute an attribution value for each of the event categories based on the series of predictive values.
