Sufficient and necessary causation are dual
Causation has been the issue of philosophic debate since Hippocrates. Recent work defines actual causation in terms of Pearl/Halpern's causality framework, formalizing necessary causes (IJCAI'15). This has inspired causality notions in the security domain (CSF'15), which, perhaps surprisingly, formalize sufficient causes instead. We provide an explicit relation between necessary and sufficient causes.

On Learning Necessary and Sufficient Causal Graphs
The causal revolution has stimulated interest in understanding complex relationships in various fields. Most of the existing methods aim to discover causal relationships among all variables within a complex large-scale g…
Causal Sufficiency and Actual Causation
Pearl opened the door to formally defining actual causation using causal models. His approach rests on two strategies: first, capturing the widespread intuition that X=x causes Y=y iff X=x is a Necessary Element of a Suf…
Active causation and the origin of meaning
Purpose and meaning are necessary concepts for understanding mind and culture, but appear to be absent from the physical world and are not part of the explanatory framework of the natural sciences. Understanding how mean…
Cultural Vocal Bursts Intensity PredictionEstimating Probabilities of Causation with Machine Learning Models
Probabilities of causation play a crucial role in modern decision-making. This paper addresses the challenge of predicting probabilities of causation for subpopulations with insufficient data using machine learning model…
Identification of Probabilities of Causation: A Complete Characterization
Probabilities of causation are fundamental to modern decision-making. Pearl first introduced three binary probabilities of causation, and Tian and Pearl later derived tight bounds for them using Balke's linear programmin…
