• Abstract summary: We argue that human and animal brains contain an explicit engine for doing Causal Inference (CI) We propose a simple algorithm for constructing such an atlas from a library of books or videos/movies. We illustrate our method by applying it to a database of randomly generated Tic-Tac-Toe games.

• Abstract: Determining a causal DAG (directed acyclic graph) for a problem under consideration, is a major roadblock when doing Judea Pearl's Causal Inference (CI) in Statistics. The same problem arises when doing CI in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). As with many problems in Science, we think Nature has found an effective solution to this problem. We argue that human and animal brains contain an explicit engine for doing CI, and that such an engine uses as input an atlas (i.e., collection) of causal DAGs. We propose a simple algorithm for constructing such an atlas from a library of books or videos/movies. We illustrate our method by applying it to a database of randomly generated Tic-Tac-Toe games. The software used to generate this Tic-Tac-Toe example is open source and available at GitHub.

  Within machine learning-based planning, imitation learning (IL) is a common algorithm. It primarily learns driving policies directly from supervised trajectory data. It remains challenging to determine if the learned policy truly understands fundamental driving principles. This work proposes a novel closed-loop simulator supporting both imitation and reinforcement learning.

• Testing Causal Models with Hidden Variables in Polynomial Delay via Conditional Independencies [49.99600569996907]
  Testing a hypothesized causal model against observational data is a key prerequisite for many causal inference tasks. While a model can assume exponentially many conditional independence relations (CIs), testing all of them is both impractical and unnecessary. We introduce c-LMP for causal graphs with hidden variables and develop a delay algorithm to list these CIs in poly-time intervals.
