A data science and AI lab that investigates causal relationships in observational data.

AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering causal relationships from observational data
The Intelligent Reasoning Lab (Shimizu Lab) is a data science and AI lab focused on causal discovery.
It aims to make causal discovery a standard analytical method in scientific research and in industry and policy settings, building the foundation for a society where causal inference is used routinely.
The lab works with researchers and practitioners from a wide range of fields, from the natural and social sciences to engineering and medicine.
In particular, it develops new methodologies that can estimate causal relationships from observational data even in situations where interventional experiments are difficult.
Key terms
- Causal discovery
- Methods for estimating causal relationships from observational data. This is the main area of research in this lab.
- Observational data
- Data that records what happened as it happened, without manipulating conditions in an experiment
- Interventional experiment
- An experiment in which researchers change a condition thought to be the cause and examine the resulting difference in outcomes
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to make causal discovery a standard analytical method in scientific research and in industry and policy settings, and to build the foundation for a society where causal inference is used routinely. To this end, it studies mathematical methodologies for uncovering causal relationships, in collaboration with researchers and practitioners from various fields.
