Dataset Card

Semi-synthetic dataset with multimodal confounding. The dataset is generated according to the description in DoubleMLDeep: Estimation of Causal Effects with Multimodal Data.

Dataset Details

Dataset Description & Usage

The dataset is a semi-synthetic dataset as a benchmark for treatment effect estimation with multimodal confounding. The outcome variable Y is generated according to a partially linear model $Y = \theta_0 D_1 + g_1(X) + \varepsilon$ with an constant treatment effect of $\theta_0=0.5.$ The target variables sentiment, label and price are used to generate credible confounding by affecting both Y and D_1. This confounding is generated to be negative, such that estimates of the treatment effect should generally be smaller than 0.5.

For a more detailed description on the data generating process, see DoubleMLDeep: Estimation of Causal Effects with Multimodal Data.

The dataset includes the corresponding target variables sentiment, label, price and oracle values such as cond_exp_y, l1, m1, g1. These values are included for convenience for e.g. benchmarking against optimal estimates, but should not be used in the model. Further, several tabular features are highly correlated, such that it may be helpful to drop features such as x, y, z.

An example looks as follows:

Anyways, this could have been one of the best Summerslam's ever if the WWF didn't have Lex Luger in the main event against Yokozuna, now for it's time it was ok to have a huge fat man vs a strong man but I'm glad times have changed. It was a terrible main event just like every match Luger is in is terrible. Other matches on the card were Razor Ramon vs Ted Dibiase, Steiner Brothers vs Heavenly Bodies, Shawn Michaels vs Curt Hening, this was the event where Shawn named his big monster of a body guard Diesel, IRS vs 1-2-3 Kid, Bret Hart first takes on Doink then takes on Jerry Lawler and stuff with the Harts and Lawler was always very interesting, then Ludvig Borga destroyed Marty Jannetty, Undertaker took on Giant Gonzalez in another terrible match, The Smoking Gunns and Tatanka took on Bam Bam Bigelow and the Headshrinkers, and Yokozuna defended the world title against Lex Luger this match was boring and it has a terrible ending. However it deserves 8/10",

Dataset Sources

The dataset is based on the three commonly used datasets:

Dataset Preprocessing

All datasets are subsampled to be of equal size (50,000). The CIFAR-10 data is based on the trainings dataset, whereas the IMDB data contains train and test data to obtain 50,000 observations. The labels of the CIFAR-10 data are set to integer values 0 to 9. The Diamonds dataset is cleaned (values with x, y, z equal to 0 are removed) and outliers are dropped (such that 45<depth<75, 40<table<80, x<30, y<30 and 2<z<30). The remaining 53,907 observations are downsampled to the same size of 50,000 observations. Further price and carat are transformed with the natural logarithm and cut, color and clarity are dummy coded (with baselines Fair, D and I1).

Uses

The dataset should as a benchmark to compare different causal inference methods for observational data under multimodal confounding.

- label (int64): Corresponding label from 0 to 9
Tabular Features

- m1 (float64): Expected value of D_1 conditional on sentiment, label and price
- g1 (float64): Additive component of Y based on sentiment, label and price (see Dataset Description)

Limitations

As the confounding is generated via original labels, completely removing the confounding might not be possible.
