Build3Wai··on DeepMind Introduces Algorithms for Causal Reasoning in Probability Trees
Thanks for sharing.

What are the areas where this approach would provide the most benefit Vs SCMs and Bayesian Networks? What are the trade-offs?

Linking to their tutorial notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/github/deepmind/deepmind_r...

Questions: 1. Has anyone used a package like "bnlearn" in R to guide the structure learning of one of these starting from data? 2. Would be curious about their relationship to CART models, Random Forest models and Causal Decision Trees (http://nugget.unisa.edu.au/jiuyong/CDT-Revision.pdf) 3. This feels like an important limitation Vs SCMs: "A system of transformations akin to the do-calculus is entirely absent and left for future work. Such a system is necessary for addressing questions about identification, i.e. whether a causal effect can be estimated from observation alone"

Yes. It seems that innovating accounting technology to be able to diffuse ownership more flexibly across networks can be productive.

Fair characterization of industrial capitalism, perhaps. How about network capitalism of the type described by Yochai Benkler? https://www.benkler.org/

My rough estimate is 10% of $6T US bailout goes to people Vs corporations by end of May.

Your estimates? Is it true that Banks encashed $1T at 0% the Sunday before? Why did Mortgage rates go up?
