用因果模型识别预期效应

Identifying Intended Effects with Causal Models

Dario Compagno

AI总结:

本文扩展了Judea Pearl的因果推断框架,通过引入目的论推断来建模行动并识别预期效应,定义了混杂效应并引入干涉加以控制,解决了因果分析需纳入意图的根本问题。

摘要:

本文旨在扩展因果推断框架(特别是Judea Pearl发展的框架),以对行动进行建模并识别其预期效应,沿Elisabeth Anscombe开辟的方向推进。我们展示了如何从因果模型及其在数据中可观测的隐含相关性中推断意图。本文将混杂效应定义为目的论推断可能失败的原因,并引入干涉作为控制它们的方法。文中还提出了目的论推断的“根本问题”,解释了为何因果分析需要扩展以将意图纳入考量。

英文摘要:

The aim of this paper is to extend the framework of causal inference, in particular as it has been developed by Judea Pearl, in order to model actions and identify their intended effects, in the direction opened by Elisabeth Anscombe. We show how intentions can be inferred from a causal model and its implied correlations observable in data. The paper defines confounding effects as the reasons why teleological inference may fail and introduces interference as a way to control for them. The ''fundamental problem'' of teleological inference is presented, explaining why causal analysis needs an extension in order to take intentions into account.
