MOSAIC: Module Discovery via Sparse Additive Identifiable Causal Learning for Scientific Time Series

ArXi:2605.05524v1 Announce Type: new Causal representation learning (CRL) seeks to recover latent variables with identifiability guarantees, typically up to permutation and component-wise reparameterization under appropriate assumptions. However, identifiability does not imply interpretability: latent semantics are typically assigned post hoc by alignment with known ground-truth factors. This limitation is particularly acute in scientific time series, where underlying mechanisms are unknown and discovering interpretable structure is a primary goal.
