From Systems Biology to Causality

Robert always loved statistics.

He went to study systems biology, driven by his desire to model natural systems.

His perspective on causal inference encompasses graphical models, Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, generative AI and cognitive science.

It allows him to think broadly about the problems we encounter in modern AI research.

Is the reward enough and what's the next big thing in causal (generative) AI?

Let's see!
