Build AI models that can reliably deliver causal inference.
How do you know what might have happened, had you done things differently? Causal AI gives you the insight you need to make predictions and control outcomes based on causal relationships instead of pure correlation, so you can make precise and timely interventions. Causal AI is a practical introduction to building AI models that can reason about causality.
In Causal AI you will learn how to:
Build causal reinforcement learning algorithms
Implement causal inference with modern probabilistic machine tools such as PyTorch and Pyro
Compare and contrast statistical and econometric methods for causal inference
Set up algorithms for attribution, credit assignment, and explanation
Convert domain expertise into explainable causal models
Author Robert Osazuwa Ness, a leading researcher in causal AI at Microsoft Research, brings his unique expertise to this cutting-edge guide. His clear, code-first approach explains essential details of causal machine learning that are hidden in academic papers. Everything you learn can be easily and effectively applied to industry challenges, from building explainable causal models to predicting counterfactual outcomes.
Foreword by Lindsay Edwards.
About the technology
Traditional ML models can't answer causal questions like, "Why did that happen?" or, "What factors should I change to get a particular outcome?" This book blends advanced statistical methods, computational techniques, and new algorithms to create machine learning systems that automate the process of causal inference.
About the book
Causal AI introduces the tools, techniques, and algorithms of causal reasoning for machine learning. This unique book masterfully blends Bayesian and probabilistic approaches to causal inference with practical hands-on examples in Python. Along the way, you'll learn to integrate causal assumptions into deep learning architectures, including reinforcement learning and large language models. You'll also use PyTorch, Pyro, and other ML libraries to scale up causal inference.
