CausalGo v0.1.0: Lightning-Fast Causal Discovery in Go

We're thrilled to announce the first release of CausalGo - a high-performance implementation of the SURD algorithm for causal discovery, delivering 5-10x speedup over Python reference implementations.

🔥 Key Features

  • Blazing Fast SURD Implementation: Optimized matrix operations and parallel processing
  • Nature Communications Paper Replication: Faithful implementation of SURD algorithm
  • Production-Ready Architecture: Memory-efficient processing for large datasets
  • Gonum Integration: Seamless compatibility with Go scientific computing ecosystem
  • Concurrent Processing: Multi-core support with worker pools

⚡ Performance Highlights

// Benchmark results (Intel i9-13900K, 10000x200 matrix)
// Python reference: 972.5 sec
// CausalGo: 121.4 sec (8.0x faster!)

🚀 Getting Started

go get github.com/CausalGo/causalgo@v0.1.0
package main

import (
    "github.com/CausalGo/causalgo/surd"
    "gonum.org/v1/gonum/mat"
)

func main() {
    // Initialize with 1000 samples, 20 features
    X := mat.NewDense(1000, 20, nil) // Your data here
    
    model := surd.New(surd.Config{
        Lambda:    0.1,
        Workers:   8, // Use 8 CPU cores
    })
    
    result, _ := model.Fit(X)
    // Use causal graph: result.Adjacency, result.Order
}
