"Would life be more interesting if I were in AI?" Answering Counterfactuals based on Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming
Probabilistic logic programs are logic programs where some facts hold with a specified probability. Here, we investigate these programs with a causal framework that allows counterfactual queries. Learning the program structure from observational data is usually done through heuristic search relying on statistical tests. However, these statistical tests lack information about the causal mechanism generating the data, which makes it unfeasible to use the resulting programs for counterfactual reasoning. To address this, we propose a language fragment that allows reconstructing a program from its induced distribution. This further enables us to learn programs supporting counterfactual queries.

Question AnsweringUsing natural language processing to extract health-related causality from Twitter messages
Twitter messages (tweets) contain various types of information, which include health-related information. Analysis of health-related tweets would help us understand health conditions and concerns encountered in our daily…
Critically assessing atavism, an evolution-centered and deterministic hypothesis on cancer
Cancer is most commonly viewed as resulting from somatic mutations enhancing proliferation and invasion. Some hypotheses further propose that these new capacities reveal a breakdown of multicellularity allowing cancer ce…
