主要文章及著作

Bareinboim的研究主要关注因果推断和其在健康与社会科学、人工智能、机器学习方向的应用。他的研究特别关注如何在异构和有偏的数据中得出稳健、可泛化的因果和反事实结论，这其中包括了混淆偏差、选择偏差和可迁移性问题。他的工作为数据融合问题提出了第一个通用解决方案，为组合在不同实验条件下生成并受到各种偏差困扰的数据集提供了实用的方法。最近，Bareinboim 一直在探索因果推理与决策（包括强化学习）和可解释性（包括公平性分析）的交叉点。 Bareinboim 获得了博士学位。来自加州大学洛杉矶分校，在那里他得到了 Judea Pearl 的建议。

因果科学与 Causal AI 系列读书会

图灵奖得主朱迪亚·珀尔教授认为，当下正在进行一场改变数据科学的新革命 ”因果革命“。它以科学为中心，涉及从数据到政策、可解释性、机制的泛化，再到一些社会科学中的归因和公平性问题，甚至哲学中的创造性和自由意志。本季读书会以Elements of Causal Inference一书为线索，主要展现因果科学在机器学习各个方向上的影响，包括强化学习、迁移学习、表示学习等等，并分享在工业界的部分应用成果。本季读书会梳理了因果科学的核心内容，理解它如何改变数据科学，助力 AI 系统超越曲线拟合和获得回答因果问题的能力。

因果科学与Causal AI读书会第二季

因果推断与机器学习领域的结合已经吸引了越来越多来自学界业界的关注。第一季读书会主要关注了因果科学在机器学习方向上的前沿应用，为深入探讨、普及推广因果科学议题，第二季读书会着力于实操性、基础性，带领大家精读因果科学方向两本非常受广泛认可的入门教材：Causal inference in statistics: A primer和Elements of causal inference: foundations and learning algorithms。读书会以直播讨论为主，结合习题交流、夜谈、编程实践、前沿讲座等多类型内容，主要面向有机器学习背景、希望深入学习因果科学基础知识和重要模型方法、寻求解决相关研究问题的研究人员。

因果科学读书会第三季：因果+X

“因果”并不是一个新概念，而是一个已经在多个学科中使用了数十年的分析技术。通过前两季的分享，我们主要梳理了因果科学在计算机领域的前沿进展。如要融会贯通，我们需要回顾数十年来在社会学、经济学、医学、生物学等多个领域中，都是使用了什么样的因果模型、以什么样的范式、解决了什么样的问题。我们还要尝试进行对比和创新，看能否以现在的眼光，用其他的模型，为这些研究提供新的解决思路。

“因果+X”就是要让因果真正地应用于我们的科学研究中，不管你是来自计算机、数理统计领域，还是社会学、经济学、管理学领域，还是医学、生物学领域，我们希望共同探究出因果研究的范式，真正解决因果的多学科应用问题，乃至解决工业界的问题。
