Causal Razors
When performing causal discovery, assumptions have to be made on how the true causal mechanism corresponds to the underlying joint probability distribution. These assumptions are labeled as causal razors in this work. We review numerous causal razors that appeared in the literature, and offer a comprehensive logical comparison of them. In particular, we scrutinize an unpopular causal razor, namely parameter minimality, in multinomial causal models and its logical relations with other well-studied causal razors. Our logical result poses a dilemma in selecting a reasonable scoring criterion for score-based casual search algorithms.

Can Artificial Intelligence Embody Moral Values?
The neutrality thesis holds that technology cannot be laden with values. This long-standing view has faced critiques, but much of the argumentation against neutrality has focused on traditional, non-smart technologies li…
FairnessWhat the F*ck Is Artificial General Intelligence?
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is an established field of research. Yet Melanie Mitchell and others have questioned if the term still has meaning. AGI has been subject to so much hype and speculation it has become…
