Causal Interaction in Bayesian Networks
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Philosophy of Science share a fundamental problem—that of understanding causality. Bayesian network techniques have recently been used by Judea Pearl in a new approach to understanding causality and causal processes (Pearl, 2000). Pearl’s approach has great promise, but needs to be supplemented with an explicit account of causal interaction. Thus far, despite co...
متن کاملCausal reversibility in Bayesian networks
Causal manipulation theorems proposed by Spirtes et al. and Pearl in the context of directed probabilistic graphs, such as Bayesian networks, oŒer a simple and theoretically sound formalism for predicting the eŒect of manipulation of a system from its causal model. While the theorems are applicable to a wide variety of equilibrium causal models, they do not address the issue of reversible causa...
متن کاملA software system for causal reasoning in causal Bayesian networks
Knowing the cause and effect is important to researchers who are interested in modeling the effects of actions, and Artificial Intelligence researchers are among them. One commonly used method for modeling cause and effect is graphical model. Bayesian Network is a probabilistic graphical model for representing and reasoning uncertain knowledge. It has been used as a fundamental tool and is beco...
متن کاملProbabilistic Structural Controllability in Causal Bayesian Networks
Humans routinely confront the following key question which could be viewed as a probabilistic variant of the controllability problem: While faced with an uncertain environment governed by causal structures, how should they practice their autonomy by intervening on driver variables, in order to increase (or decrease) the probability of attaining their desired (or undesired) state for some target...
متن کاملPolynomial Constraints in Causal Bayesian Networks
We use the implicitization procedure to generate polynomial equality constraints on the set of distributions induced by local interventions on variables governed by a causal Bayesian network with hidden variables. We show how we may reduce the complexity of the implicitization problem and make the problem tractable in certain causal Bayesian networks. We also show some preliminary results on th...
