A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence
“Correlation is not causation.” This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. 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, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl’s work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

1.作者硃迪亞·珀爾,是加州大學落砂機分校的計算機科學教授,計算機最高奬項圖靈奬的獲得者,被稱為貝葉斯網絡之父。作為科學傢寫的科學著作,這本書需要一定的先驗知識纔能閱讀下去,起碼讀者應該對概率論有基本的瞭解。不過,雖然有一定的閱讀難度,但能把人類關於因果關係...
評分 評分拿到書之後讀瞭兩遍,第一遍是以欣賞和學習的態度,第二遍是以欣賞和懷疑的態度。學習和懷疑之後,談談讀後感。 這本書的副標題是《關於因果關係的新科學》,顯然,這本書是從科學角度論述因果關係的。這可能讓大眾詫異,為什麼顯而易見的因果關係,從科學角度卻難以建立。甚至...

Not my book though
評分這本書很不錯哦 提供瞭另外一個思考 causal 的角度也還蠻科普的
評分讓我這個很想粗淺瞭解統計學的人是一個很好的入門教材。從經典統計學,到貝葉斯,到因果關係都是有很好的介紹。裏麵的例子很有趣也很燒腦,雖然不知道如何直接利用裏麵的公式,但是至少知道在統計學之外還有彆的工具可以使用。
評分老爺爺的書刷第二遍瞭,懷著無比崇敬的心情。我想我的新年願望就是把這書再刷幾遍,然後爭取看懂老爺爺的其他書
