Dynamical Causal Learning

چکیده
Current psychological theories of human causal learning and judgment focus primarily on long-run predictions: two by estimating parameters of a causal Bayes nets (though for different parameterizations), and a third through structural learning. This paper focuses on people’s short-run behavior by examining dynamical versions of these three theories, and comparing their predictions to a real-world dataset.

Learning Causal Structure from Undersampled Time Series
Even if one can experiment on relevant factors, learning the causal structure of a dynamical system can be quite difficult if the relevant measurement processes occur at a much slower sampling rate than the “true” underlying dynamics. This problem is exacerbated if the degree of mismatch is unknown. This paper gives a formal characterization of this learning problem, and then provides two sets ...
متن کاملExploiting Causal Domain Knowledge for Learning to Control Dynamic Systems
This paper introduces a simple yet eeective method for using causal domain knowledge for learning to control dynamic systems. Elementary qualitative causal dependencies of the domain are exploited in order to dramatically speed up the learning of reliable control strategies from a simulation model of the system. The reliability of the obtained control strategies is strengthened as well. The eee...

متن کاملOptimal causal inference: estimating stored information and approximating causal architecture.
We introduce an approach to inferring the causal architecture of stochastic dynamical systems that extends rate-distortion theory to use causal shielding--a natural principle of learning. We study two distinct cases of causal inference: optimal causal filtering and optimal causal estimation. Filtering corresponds to the ideal case in which the probability distribution of measurement sequences i...
متن کاملRobust asynchronous temporal event mapping
A dynamical system is employed to acquire these correlations between simultaneous and sequential events from different sources, to map causal sequences, while considering time spans, and to recognise previously observed patterns (localisation). While this system is applicable to sensor modalities with different characteristics and timing behaviours, it is especially suitable for distributed com...
