Humphreys and Suganami offer a rich, thoughtful critique of causal inquiry in IR, though their approach may underplay how abstract theories shape concrete explanations.| E-International Relations

You can’t start a fire without a spark… and fuel… and… Asked what a cause is, we may be tempted to say that it is an event which precedes the event of which it is the cause, and is both necessary and sufficient for the latter’s occurrence; briefly, that a cause is a necessary and… Read More »| Driverless Crocodile
In my PhD thesis, I developed a method and software package to infer interactions and cell states from gene expression data. Both the software and the research are now published!| Abel Jansma
Generative models, in particular energy-based models, are often used to sample from conditional distributions–a process known as inpainting. One of the most fundamental kinds of generative energy-based models is called a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), which is essentially a bipartite, glassy Ising model. Inpainting with RBMs is usually done by sampling from the visible layer while fixing the value of some visible nodes, which is an intervention, not a passive observation. I could not f...| Abel Jansma
Structural Causal Models (SCMs) and Do-Calculus are foundational to causal reasoning and inference. SCMs formalize causal relationships through mathematical ...| Rehan Guha -Portfolio & Blog
Summary 2023 was a busy year where I undertook more activities and projects than I initially planned for. Reflecting on the last day of the year, I am grateful and happy to have had a good year with my friends and family. For posterity, here are my notes of this year’s highs and lows.

I am really proud of the fact that I have built personalised process...| ddanieltan.com
Learning Theme It’s the start of the new year, which means I’m committing to a new learning theme for the year! I’ve found that having a single learning theme for the whole year helps keep me focused and prevents me from getting too excited about exploring new topics. It also helps me make both short- and long-term plans without stressing myself out too much, since I’m juggling my independent learning with time for my family, work, and school. As I mentioned in my post about my learni...| ddanieltan.com
