机器学习模型解决互为因果

In the last episode we developed the first tools we need to develop the theory needed to formalise interventions and counterfactual reasoning. In this article we’ll discuss how we can go about learning such a causal model from some observational data, and what constraints are required for doing this. Note, this is an active area of research and so we really don’t have all the tools yet. This should be both a cautionary note and an exciting motivation to get involved in this research! This is really when the theory of causal inference starts to get exciting, so tighten your seat-belts.

在上一集中，我们开发了我们需要的第一个工具，以发展为干预和反事实推理形式化所需的理论。 在本文中，我们将讨论如何从一些观测数据中学习这种因果模型，以及进行此操作需要哪些约束。 请注意，这是一个活跃的研究领域，因此我们确实还没有所有工具。 这既是警告提示，也是参与该研究的令人兴奋的动力！ 当因果推理理论开始变得令人兴奋时，请务必系紧安全带。

可识别性 (Identifiability)

Previously, we discussed the idea that an SCM induces a joint distribution over the variables of interest. For example, the
