Book Signing
Just before the tutorial at 12 noon, there will be a book-signing gathering at the Cambridge University Press booth, where J. Pearl will be signing copies of the 2nd Edition of Causality and will engage in gossip and debates about where causality is heading.

Ilya Shpitser and Judea Pearl recently presented an article at the UAI conference which offers a solution to the (counterfactual) problem of evaluating the Effect of Treatment on the Treated.
