In this chapter, we have learned the following concepts:
- Out-of-distribution generalization and its impossibility
- Invariance as a core principle behind out-of-distribution generalization
- Preference modeling for training a language model, as causal learning
The goal of this chapter has been to introduce students to the concept of learning beyond independently-and-identically-distribution settings, by relying on concepts and frameworks from causal inference and more broadly causality. The topics covered in this chapter are sometimes referred to as causal machine learning~[1].
