Seminar: From Propositional to Lifted Causal Inference

On March 5, 2025. Malte Luttermann, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence

We are pleased to announce an upcoming talk by Malte Luttermann, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, who will be presenting on March 5, 2025, at 15:00.

Abstract:

Causal models provide a principled way to reason about the effect of actions, such as administering a new drug or implementing a policy change. This talk explores the transition from propositional to lifted causal inference, leveraging symmetries in relational domains to enable inference in compact first-order (lifted) causal models. We investigate why causality is important for decision making, introduce the foundations of causal inference, and take a look at recent advances in the field of lifted causal inference.
