What is a causal model and how is it different from a "common" statistical model?
๐
Thread on a mental picture and intuition how one may think about (a subclass of) causal models and the causal discovery problem.

Why?
We need ๐๐๐๐๐๐ performance metrics to guide the development of ๐๐๐๐๐๐ structure learning algorithms.
Existing graph distances are non-causal,
ignore causal order, or slow ๐
We develop new algorithms for
the too fast ๐ดโโ๏ธ and too causal

Using Neuro-Symbolic AI can boost the prediction accuracy... but are you learning the right concepts? ๐ค
The answer is very tricky, but it is "no" in general ๐ฑ
Introducing our latest paper, accepted at #NeurIPS2023!
With @tetraduzione, @andrea_whatever, and @looselycorrect.
Introducing our #NeurIPS2023 paper: "Causal Component Analysis" (CauCA) โ a causal generalization of Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and a special case of Causal Representation Learning (CRL). 1/10

what does "alignment" mean these days in #AI and #ML?
in a nutshell, that big tech has a clear agenda and we shall align with it.
states and governments are doing this right now (and they influence academia in a weird feedback)
'Bike riders recognise that mandatory helmet legalisation does not tackle the risk of injury at its root [and] felt that helmets dehumanise bike riders which could lead to further violence against them.'
