Beware of the DAG!
Directed acyclic graph (DAG) models are popular tools for describing causal relationships and for guiding attempts to learn them from data. In particular, they appear to supply a ...

Inferring Hidden Causal Structure
We used a new method to assess how people can infer unobserved causal structure from patterns of observed events. Participants were taught to draw causal graphs, and then shown a ...

Causality Discovery with Additive Disturbances: An Information-Theoretical Perspective
We consider causally sufficient acyclic causal models in which the relationship among the variables is nonlinear while disturbances have linear effects, and show that three princi...

Exploiting Causal Independence in Markov Logic Networks: Combining Undirected and Directed Models
Abstract. A new method is proposed for compiling causal independencies into Markov logic networks (MLNs). An MLN can be viewed as compactly representing a factorization of a joint ...
