An AI Pioneer Wants His Algorithms to Understand the ‘Why’

Deep learning is good at finding patterns in reams of data, but can’t explain how they’re connected. Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio wants to change that. “It’s a big thing to integrate [causality] into AI,” says University...

Introducing DoWhy

The human mind has a remarkable ability to associate causes with a specific event. From the outcome of an election to an object dropping on the floor, we are constantly associating chains of events that cause a specific effect. Neuropsychology...

From how to why: An overview of causal inference in machine learning

Ravi Pandya Artificial intelligence is good at predicting outcomes, but how do we go one step further? Here, we discuss how AI can use causal inference and machine learning to measure the effects of multiple variables – and why it’s important for...
