Causality & Counterfactuals – Role in IoT Digital Twin

Session Abstract:

This talk presents (1) causality, (2) its role in IoT, (3) algorithms for causal structure and causal factor estimation, (4) how to use causal graph simulation for counterfactual experiments, (5) what is a digital twin and (6) why causal graph is an ideal data-driven digital twin.
