TL;DR: We present novel, highly efficient algorithms for designing minimum-cost proxy experiments (interventions) to identify causal effects, significantly outperforming the s.o.t.a.

The running time of our algorithm compared with the previous s.o.t.a. from Akbari et al., 2022 on random Erdos-Renyi acyclic directed mixed graphs with varying (bi)/directed sparsities for different number of variables (left); and different (bi)/directed edge probabilities (right).
