The Tower of Knowledge Scheme for Learning in Computer Vision
A scheme, named tower of knowledge (ToK), is proposed for interpreting 3D scenes. The ToK encapsulates causal dependencies between object appearance and functionality. We demonstr...

Tracing data errors with view-conditioned causality
A surprising query result is often an indication of errors in the query or the underlying data. Recent work suggests using causal reasoning to find explanations for the surprisin...

Exploiting Causal Independence in Markov Logic Networks: Combining Undirected and Directed Models
Abstract. A new method is proposed for compiling causal independencies into Markov logic networks (MLNs). An MLN can be viewed as compactly representing a factorization of a joint ...
