Inferring interventional predictions from observational learning data.
Previous research has shown that people are capable of deriving correct predictions for previously unseen actions from passive observations of causal systems (Waldmann & Hagmayer, 2005). However, these studies were limited, since learning data were presented as tabulated data only, which may have turned the task more into a reasoning rather than a learning task. In two experiments, we therefore...
متن کاملObservational-Interventional Priors for Dose-Response Learning
Controlled interventions provide the most direct source of information for learning causal effects. In particular, a dose-response curve can be learned by varying the treatment level and observing the corresponding outcomes. However, interventions can be expensive and time-consuming. Observational data, where the treatment is not controlled by a known mechanism, is sometimes available. Under so...
متن کاملLearning Optimal Policies from Observational Data
Choosing optimal (or at least better) policies is an important problem in domains from medicine to education to finance and many others. One approach to this problem is through controlled experiments/trials but controlled experiments are expensive. Hence it is important to choose the best policies on the basis of observational data. This presents two difficult challenges: (i) missing counterfac...

ion Domain layer Inference layer Task layer Strategy layer Figure 2: Degree of abstraction theoretical view When comparing the layers according to degree of abstraction, the above ordering suggests the idea of Fig. 2. However, the design of the strategy layer is, in practice, tightly bound with the problem domain, and can be viewed as more specific than the inference and task layers. Fig. 3 is ...
متن کاملLearning Deterministic Causal Networks from Observational Data
Previous work suggests that humans find it difficult to learn the structure of causal systems given observational data alone. We show that structure learning is successful when the causal systems in question are consistent with people’s expectations that causal relationships are deterministic and that each pattern of observations has a single underlying cause. Our data are well explained by a B...
