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!

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!
