Description

I will sketch the current state of play with classifying causal scenarios (aka DAGs with latent variables). Some are interesting: the classical correlations are constrained by non-trivial inequalities such as Bell’s. Some are boring: the classical correlations are constrained only by observable conditional independencies. Some we still don’t know. Along the way I will mention joint work with Joe Henson, Ray Lal, Shashaank Khanna, Marina Ansanelli and Elie Wolfe, and disjoint work by Robin Evans.
