The Minimal Search Space for Conditional Causal Bandits
Francisco N. F. Q. Simoes, Itai Feigenbaum, Mehdi Dastani +1
Causal knowledge can be used to support decision-making problems. This has been recognized in the causal bandits literature, where a causal (multi-armed) bandit is characterized by…
The Causal Information Bottleneck and Optimal Causal Variable Abstractions
Francisco N. F. Q. Simoes, Mehdi Dastani, Thijs van Ommen
To effectively study complex causal systems, it is often useful to construct abstractions of parts of the system by discarding irrelevant details while preserving key features. The…
Fundamental Properties of Causal Entropy and Information Gain
Francisco N. F. Q. Simoes, Mehdi Dastani, Thijs van Ommen
Recent developments enable the quantification of causal control given a structural causal model (SCM). This has been accomplished by introducing quantities which encode changes in…
Causal Entropy and Information Gain for Measuring Causal Control
Francisco Nunes Ferreira Quialheiro Simoes, Mehdi Dastani, Thijs van Ommen
Artificial intelligence models and methods commonly lack causal interpretability. Despite the advancements in interpretable machine learning (IML) methods, they frequently assign i…
