| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary In this paper, researchers argue that selective inclusion of data points based on latent objectives is common in practical situations like music sequences. They propose that instead of solely viewing this selection process as a bias to be corrected, it can provide valuable insights into the hidden generation process. The authors show that the causal structure of selection in sequential data is identifiable without parametric assumptions or interventional experiments, and propose an algorithm for detecting and identifying selection structures. This framework has been validated on both synthetic and real-world music datasets. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper explores how we make decisions about what data to use when analyzing sequences like music. Researchers often ignore this process because it can distort results. But the authors think that by understanding why we choose certain data, we can gain a deeper insight into how things work. They show that even without extra information or special experiments, we can figure out why certain data is chosen and develop methods to identify these patterns. The approach has been tested on music and other types of data. |
