Interesting new paper on “A Dozen Challenges in Causality and Causal Inference.” After 30+ years of progress in causal inference, the authors lay out the biggest challenges in current research. Good teaching resource! @guidoimbens.bsky.social @smaglia.bsky.social arxiv.org/pdf/2508.170...

New paper in @annalsofim.bsky.social "50 ways to misinterpret clinical prediction models for treatment decisions” --> Published version: www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/... --> Open access version: arxiv.org/pdf/2402.17366

and finally on The 1st Workshop on Safe AI sites.google.com/view/safeai2...

then on The Workshop on Causal Abstractions and Representations #CAR25 sites.google.com/view/car-25/

memories from the last day of #UAI2025: the 8th Workshop on Tractable Probabilistic Modeling #TPM2025 tractable-probabilistic-modeling.github.io/tpm2025/

Grateful to the tutorial chairs @urish.bsky.social and @sineadwilliamson.bsky.social for the opportunity, and big thanks to the PC chairs @smaglia.bsky.social and @csilviavr.bsky.social for being on the ground and making UAI 2025 such a unique experience!

a huge thanks to @rmassidda.it who not only flawlessly managed to update the #UAI2025 website, but also wrote an amazing pipeline (with docker!) from scratch to do so. All future publicity chairs will own Riccardo!
