Basic research is deeply interested in mechanisms and root causes. Questions such as “what is the molecular basis for life?” led our civilization to the discovery of DNA, and in that question there are already embedded causal questions, such as “how do changes in the nucleotide sequence of...
This is one of the key tools in a system thinker’s arsenal. There are many ways to map a system, including behavior-over-time graphs, iceberg models, causal loop diagrams, and connected circles. Whatever the method chosen, it should define how the elements within a system behave and how...

Is it the system? Is it the program? What’s going on the middle school that’s making these kids end up here with few skills? Or way below grade-level skills? And is it the same issue that we’re dealing with—that they can’t [get] their kids to work because they’re not, ...

Autoregression is used prominently in causal language models like the GPT, LLaMa and Claude families of LLMs that excel at tasks like text generation and question answering. In pre-training, language models are provided the beginning of sample sentences drawn from unlabeled training data and tasked...
which can be problematic for causal modeling. Overfit models will generalize poorly to new data, diminishing their value altogether. PCA is a commonly used approach within regression analysis but it is also leveraged for a variety of use cases, such as pattern recognition, signal processing, image...
1a why understanding nonlinear learning machines is difficult). Due to this black-box character, a scientist may not be able to extract deep insights about what the nonlinear system has learned, despite the urge to unveil the underlying natural structures. In particular, the conclusion in many ...
In essence, a root cause analysis involves the identification of problem root causes to devise the most effective solutions. Note that the root cause is an underlying factor that sets the problem in motion or causes a particular situation such as non-con
There is no universal or uniform path that leads to homelessness; each unhoused individual likely has had to contend with myriad hardships and causal factors. While each journey is unique, a robust response system could systematically target the most common factors. ...
