Constraint-based Causal Discovery for Non-Linear Structural Causal Models with Cycles and Latent ConfoundersProceedings of the 34th Annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI 2018)(The code published in the paper contains multiple bugs: one of the rules for sigma-separation is missing, and some of the conditioning rules were incorrectly implemented (the rules in Def. 2.18 and 2.19 in the paper should be correct). This has been fixed in the code in the github repository. The empirical results in the paper are hardly affected and the conclusions are unaltered.)
