评分在Pearl的书中只有这本是“说人话”,用讲故事的形式介绍因果推理中的一些概念,而非满页令人生畏的数学公式推导,此外只要对统计学的知识和历史有所了解,那么书中的内容绝不会让人陌生,作者不仅展示了他过往研究中最为基础的部分,也提及了这些工作的产生过程和许多其他研究者的努力,于是相比他之前数十年的著作,最近才出版的这本书反而成为意图了解因果推理领域的外行人最佳的先导读物,尤其对“相关不等于因果”与各种悖论的解释极尽简明有力,天下无出其右,读此书再去读因果研究的教科书更有情景感,除了Pearl这样执迷直接啃数学天赋异禀的人,他在书中说自己的阅读方法是跳开文字描述直接看数学公式。当然,本书的数学部分太少,读了之后你也不会理解Why的真谛,必须去学因果推理的教材。另外此书重点是因果推理,不是人工智能。

Judea Pearl is a professor of computer science at UCLA and winner of the 2011 Turing Award and the author of three classic technical books on causality. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
Dana Mackenzie is an award-winning science writer and the author of The Big Splat, or How Our Moon Came to Be. He lives in Santa Cruz, California.
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.

评分 评分这本书着实烧脑,是讲因果关系的新科学,我实在不能用简明的语言来描述,要举的案例也有点冗长,我只能告诉你几个大的框架: 1 三级因果思维,原来我们的思想还能分出个三个层次,分别是观察,干预和想象,现在的人工智能还只达到第一级,大数据阶段[发呆] 2 回归均值,你知道...
评分rather than a new science. 1,作者并没有区分自然科学和社会以及行为科学,没有讨论这两个领域因果推断的异同,也没有上升到科学哲学的层面讨论因果推断本身。这些本身都不是问题。只是就内容来说,书中的science实际上指的是社会科学和行为科学,作者所说的“因果革命 (the ...
