We worked on developing neural architectures for Causal Representation Learning to improve covariate matching while preserving ignorability in treatment effect estimation.

We develop a contrastive classifier-based post-hoc explainer, which improves upon the fidelity as well as stability of the widely known method LIME (Locally Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations) and its newer variants by providing scores about why a point lies in a class and doesn't lie in the remaining classes.

We collate data from various public sources and investigate what the various structure learning algorithms learn from these data.

Player synergies are a salient feature of team sports. In the team game of cricket, Batting partnerships have been analysed extensively but bowling partnerships ("bowlerships"). In this paper, we introduce and precisely define "bowlerships" and show that they exist.
