Description

Book Synopsis
Bayesian nets are used in artificial intelligence as a calculus for causal reasoning, enabling machines to make predictions, perform diagnoses, take decisions and even to discover causal relationships. This book brings together how to automate reasoning in artificial intelligence, and the nature of causality and probability in philosophy.

Trade Review
The book will certainly be appreciated by researchers and graduate students in computer science, mathematics and philosophy and, in particular, by all interested in the complicated relations between subjective and objective interpretations of probabilistic phenomena. * EMS Newsletter *
Bayesian Nets and Causality is a very well-written and well-organized book ... No doubt it will be recognized as a very important contribution to the philosophy of probability and causality by a young distinguished philosopher. * Sungho Choi, Mind *
