原因和解释:结构模型方法。第II部分:澄清

Causes and Explanations: A Structural-Model Approach. Part II: Explanations

Joseph Y. Halpern, Judea Pearl

摘要:

我们提出了新的定义(因果)解释,使用结构方程模型反事实。该定义是基于实际原因的概念,在一个配套文件中定义和动机。从本质上讲,解释是一个不确定的事实,但如果发现是真的,将构成要解释的事实的实际原因,而不管行为人最初的不确定性。我们表明,该定义处理以及一些有问题的例子,从文献。

英文摘要:

We propose new definitions of (causal) explanation, using structural equations to model counterfactuals. The definition is based on the notion of actual cause, as defined and motivated in a companion paper. Essentially, an explanation is a fact that is not known for certain but, if found to be true, would constitute an actual cause of the fact to be explained, regardless of the agent's initial uncertainty. We show that the definition handles well a number of problematic examples from the literature.
