Judea Pearl. JUDEA PEARL, professor of computer science at UCLA, has been at the center of not one but two scientific revolutions. First, in the 1980s, he introduced a new approach to artificial intelligence called Bayesian networks. This probability-based model of machine reasoning enabled machines to function in a complex, ambiguous, and ...

Judea Pearl presents a comprehensive theory of causality which uniÞes the prob-abilistic, manipulative, counterfactual, and structural approaches to causation and offers simple mathematical tools for studying the relationships between causal con-nections and statistical associations. The book opens the way for including causal
Biosketch. Judea Pearl is Chancellor professor of computer science and statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles. Pearl is recognized for his work in artificial intelligence and philosophy of science, especially through the invention of Bayesian networks, a formalism that enables computers to reason with uncertainty.
May 15, 2018 · The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions ...
