متن کاملCausal Inference with Counterfactuals
Note we are not asking whether aspirin cures headaches in some more general sense, we wish to know whether this specific headache went away because of the decision to take aspirin. The only sensible way to answer this sort of question in the case of a specific event is to compare the outcome which you observed with the counterfactual outcome which you would have observed if you had chosen not t...
متن کاملToward Automatic Inference of Causal Structure in Student Essays
With an increasing focus on science and technology in education comes an awareness that students must be able to understand and integrate scientific explanations from multiple sources. As part of a larger project aimed at deepening our understanding of student processes for integrating multiple sources of information, we are developing machine learning and natural language processing techniques...
