Would be very keen to hear your thoughts on this thread: https://twitter.com/omaclaren/status/1006376158420615168?s=21 … Thanks!
Hi everybody, the intense discussion over The Book of Why drove me to add my two cents. I will not be able to comment on every tweet, but I will try to squeak where it makes a difference.

I am not sure what is meant by: "response schedule/counterfactual etc controversy in statistics". From what I recall, "response schedule" was David Freedman's round-about way of saying "function", and "counterfactuals" were made controvertials by Dawid (2000), but no longer are.

Last year I read your "Book of Why" (it is great btw), but recently I read "The Big Picture" by Sean Carroll. I was wondering what you think on what he says about causation in that book.
-
What does Sean Carroll say about causation? I hope good things, perhaps new ideas? new problems? new tools?

Dear
@yudapearl, visiting the UK any time soon? It'd be fantastic to see you live and get our books signed. Any plans@Cambridge_Uni?@CambridgeUP? Surely there's funding available for such an event? -
Sorry, can't travel out of California these days. Wish Twitter could carry my warm signature across the Atlantic. Warm e-signatures - the next challenge for AI.

Hello what do you think about interpreting neural networks as structural causal models? Thanks
-
Let's do it together. Fit a 100-layer NN to data coming from ice-cream sales and crimes. Interpret the fitted NN as structural causal model and ask it: "Would crime increase if we ban ice-cream?" What answer would we get?

Happy to have been able today, from where I am, Algeria, to find a place, http://academia.edu , to download TheBookOfWhy from. My research has connections with the topics of the book. But I was, and still am, more familiar with a 1991 temporal constraints paper you coauthored.

Glad
#Bookofwhy reached Algeria, probably from UK, swimming. I hope you start teaching it before young minds get frozen into "regression". The temporal constraints paper almost escaped my memory - so much has happened. Enjoy!
