A Thematic Quarter on Causality

From April to July 2023

Introduction

This thematic quarter aims to underline the interactions between Statistical, Probability Theory, Causal Inference theory, and theoretical computer science methods for causal inference. It will enable researchers, students, and practitioners to explore a rich and cross-disciplinary topic. This thematic quarter will explore topics related to, but not limited to:

  • Causal discovery
  • Causal learning and control problems
  • Theoretical foundation of causal inference
  • Causal inference and active learning
  • Causal learning in low data regime
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Causal machine learning
  • Causal generative models
  • Benchmark for causal discovery and causal reasoning
During this quarter, several colloquia and schools will be organized, and some satellite events will be scheduled.
