[SIPTA] Causal expectation maximisation
by Marco Zaffalon Aug. 26, 2021

Aug. 26, 2021

Dear Friends and Colleagues, We have a report showing that we can solve causal inference in very general terms, albeit approximately, via expectation maximisation. We have made it publicly available here, if you are interested: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.02912. *** I would also like to share some information on causality-related events for those of you who may be interested (thanks to Alessandro Antonucci for helping to collect them): - CLeaR (deadline Oct. 22) https://www.cclear.cc/2022 - Why 2021 (deadline Sept. 18) https://why21.causalai.net - SI IEEE (deadline Oct. 22) https://cis.ieee.org/images/files/Publications/TNNLS/special-issues/CFP_TNN…. *** Finally, someone might be interested in this recent PhD thesis that proposes nice statistical tools to consider omitted variable bias in common regression valuation metrics + sensitivity analysis tools in linear models: https://escholarship.org/content/qt5bv3x35d/qt5bv3x35d.pdf. Wishing a happy and productive re-start of work to all, Marco

[Apologies for cross-posting. Your help in circulating this call for papers to potentially interested parties is highly appreciated.] ———————————————————————————————————————————————————— CALL FOR PAPERS ———————————————————————————————————————————————————— IUKM 2022: The Ninth International Symposium on INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY in KNOWLEDGE MODELLING and DECISION MAKING Ishikawa, JAPAN, March 18-20, 2022 Conference website: https://www.jaist.ac.jp/IUKM/IUKM2022/ Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iukm2022 Submission deadline: October 25, 2021 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————— The International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM) aims to provide a forum for exchanges of research results, ideas for and experience of application among researchers and practitioners involved with all aspects of uncertainty management and application. The Ninth International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM 2022) will be held in a hybrid mode of both in-person and online during 18-20 March, 2022, and be jointly organized by Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and Osaka University, Japan. Submission Guidelines: All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The authors are invited to submit their full papers by October 25, 2021. The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer format.
