Reconstructing Causal Biological Networks through Active Learning
Reverse-engineering of biological networks is a central problem in systems biology. The use of intervention data, such as gene knockouts or knockdowns, is typically used for teasing apart causal relationships among genes. Under time or resource constraints, one needs to carefully choose which intervention experiments to carry out. Previous approaches for selecting most informative interventions...

Bayesian methods have been developed for learning Bayesian networks from data. Most of this work has concentrated on Bayesian networks interpreted as a representation of probabilistic conditional independence without considering causation. Other researchers have shown that having a causal interpretation can be important, because it allows us to predict the effects of interventions in a domain. ...
متن کاملReconstructing biological networks using conditional correlation analysis
MOTIVATION One of the present challenges in biological research is the organization of the data originating from high-throughput technologies. One way in which this information can be organized is in the form of networks of influences, physical or statistical, between cellular components. We propose an experimental method for probing biological networks, analyzing the resulting data and reconst...
متن کاملMechanisms of Active Causal Learning
• Intervention is key to causal learning (Pearl, 2000). • People benefit from the ability to intervene (Lagnado and Sloman, 2004; Steyvers et al., 2003) but how do people select interventions and update their beliefs? • In this experiment participants were incentivised to learn the structure of probabilistic causal systems through free selection of multiple interventions. This design allows fin...
متن کاملModeling active learning decisions during causal learning
An important type of decision making concerns how people choose to gather information which reduces their uncertainty about the world. For example, when learning about a novel piece of technology, like a smartphone, people often actively intervene on various aspects in order to better understand the function of the system. Interventions allow us to tell apart causal structures that are indistin...
