Autonomous Driving, Causality & Long Tails || Daniel Ebenhöch || Causal Bandits Ep. 004 (2023)

Support the showVideo version available on YouTubeRecorded on Aug 27, 2023 in München, GermanyIs Causality Necessary For Autonomous Driving?From a child experimenter to a lead engineer working on a general causal inference engine, Daniel's choices have been marked by intense curiosity and the courage to take risks.Daniel shares how working with mathematicians differs from working with physicists and how having both on the team makes the team stronger. We discuss the journey Daniel and his team took to build a system that allows  performing the abduction step on a broad class of models in a computationally efficient way - a prerequisite to build a practically valuable counterfactual reasoning system.Finally, Daniel shares his experiences in communicating with stakeholders and offers  advice for those of us who only begin their journey with causality. Ready? About The GuestDaniel Ebenhöch is a Lead Engineer at e:fs Techhub. His research is focused on autonomous driving and automated decision-making. He leads a diverse team of scientists and developers, working on a general SCM-based causal inference engine.
