Causal Bayesian Network

Causal Bayesian Networks (CBNs) are probabilistic graphical models used to represent and reason about causal relationships between variables, aiming to infer causal effects from observational data and predict outcomes of interventions. Current research focuses on improving structure learning algorithms, particularly addressing challenges posed by latent confounders and developing more efficient methods, including lifted inference for large-scale applications and techniques leveraging expert knowledge. CBNs are increasingly applied in diverse fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and robotics to improve decision-making, risk assessment, and fault diagnosis by providing a framework for understanding and predicting causal effects.
