Information Theoretic Derivations for Causality Detection: Application to Human Gait
As a causality criterion we propose the conditional relative entropy. The relationship with information theoretic functionals mutual information and entropy is established. The con...

Explanation Trees for Causal Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks can be used to extract explanations about the observed state of a subset of variables. In this paper, we explicate the desiderata of an explanation and confront ...
