The forecast of a hurricane definitely requires causal inference, as factors such as the hurricane's strength, population density, and city size can act as confounding variables, influencing both its projected landfall location and its potential category at landfall. @yudapearl

I am seeking self-motivated Ph.D. students to join my lab in the Department of Computer Science at Florida State University, starting in the 2024 Spring or Fall. Our research will focus on Artificial Intelligence, Causal Inference, and Causality-based Decision-Making. @yudapearl

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send me a brief email with your curriculum vitae (C.V.) and any other relevant information. I look forward to hearing from you! @yudapearl

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Dept. of Computer Science at the Florida State University as a tenure-track assistant professor this fall. I'm deeply grateful to my mentors, friends, and family for their advice, support, and encouragement over the years.

I was fortunate to have had the guidance of Professor Judea Pearl @yudapearl , who led me to the fascinating field of causal inference and taught me how to become a skilled researcher.

Another intuition why our unit selection is advanced : our objective func is a linear combination of complier,always-taker,never-taker,and defier, while A/B test is a linear combination of (complier always-taker)(i.e.,treated) and (always-taker defier)(i.e.,controlled) @yudapearl

Just realized that a Python package, called Causal ML, from Uber implemented a simple version of our Unit Selection model. causalml.readthedocs.io/en/l… @yudapearl

In the unit selection problem, recall we derived tight bounds on the “benefit function” - the payoff/cost associated with selecting an individual with given characteristics.

We also provided sufficient condition under which the A/B test-based heuristics can be optimal. <ucla.in/34mq6Uh>

Now if you have additional covariates and the causal structure, the bounds on the "benefit function" can be improved significantly. Check our new paper at #AAAI2022 <ucla.in/3AFANRJ> @yudapearl

When estimating causal effects, what you should do if the adjustment variables are partially observable? what you should do if the adjustment variables have high dimensionality? Check our new paper at #AAAI2022 <ucla.in/3o2FL7u> @yudapearl

This Nature article nature.com/articles/s41586-0… claims to be using AI to increase eligibility of patients for RCT. The word "causality" does not appear, meaning: this application could be a golden opportunity to leverage modern work on "unit selection" as in ucla.in/34mq6Uh

Today, September 1st, marks the 10-year anniversary of the publication of Causality (2009, 2nd ed.) ucla.in/2BDDTLK I am proud to see that the book has stimulated 14,850 citations on Google Scholar and that, oddly, I am still agreeing with everything it says. #Bookofwhy

Another new one in traditional Chinese : ) @yudapearl @Ang_UCLA "因果革命" means revolution of causality.

I love this Chinese version for "The Book of Why". @yudapearl @Ang_UCLA Ask me any question about this Chinese version : ) 有中文版的问题可以和我讨论:)

We had a presentation for our paper "Unit Selection Based on Counterfactual Logic" at IJCAI2019. We proposed an informative selection criterion for how to select the desired group of individuals. The slides is available at web.cs.ucla.edu/~angli/causa… @yudapearl @Ang_UCLA

Remember Ang Li paper on how to select customers (or patients, or voters) that are most likely to respond to your request/action, though "responsiveness" is an unobserved, counterfactual notion? A revised and improved version is now posted here: ucla.in/2EgRzvl #Bookofwhy

Today, May 9, is Israel's Independence Day. I invite all readers to join me in celebrating the 71st birthday of the country where I learned to speak, and thanking her for what she has contributed to mankind, and for redefining the meaning of "miracle." Happy Birthday Israel !!!!
