About this talk

The Causal AI Conference 2022: An Emerging Solution to Harmonize Various Causal Discovery Methods Nima Safaei Senior Data Scientist, Scotia Bank Explainability is one of the most desired properties of AI systems; without which the AI systems cannot be trusted in high-risk fields. Causal Inference (CI) is a vital tool for producing more insightful explainability. However, one major shortfall in the current CI literature is the lack of a unique definition for causality; resulting in many different methods such as pairwise dependency tests, statistical conditional tests, structural models, and graph-based models. One major barrier to the use of CI for explainability in AI applications is that the various CI methods usually result in different causal graphs with different inter-connectedness and density; specifically given a high-dimension feature space. In this talk, Nima will address this challenge from the perspective of the financial services industry, walk through the associated complexities, and outline the possible methods to find a solution that harmonizes various CI methods.

causaLens is the pioneer of Causal AI—a giant leap in machine intelligence. Today’s machine learning algorithms extract correlations from data and predict outcomes based on patterns in past data. Correlations are useful for making predictions, but they’re of little use for decisions. Causal AI goes beyond predictions by understanding the actual causes behind an outcome and quantifying the impact of different interventions. It is the only form of machine intelligence that can answer “Why?”. causaLens builds Causal AI-powered products that empower all users to make superior decisions and drive business value. Leading organisations across a wide range of industries trust causaLens with their most important decisions.
