I really can’t help but smile when hearing folks talking about causal models recently. It looks like causal models are making a comeback! This is a pleasant surprise to me, since I’ve always been a fan of causal inference and I wasn’t sure Judea Pearl’s “Book of Why” was going to catch up or not. But now we even have Pearl on Twitter and there’s more light being shed on work that leverages causal models for various problems or that scales them to very high dimensional settings.
