Causal Abstraction Explored as Foundation for Computational Explanation in AI

A new paper published on arXiv explores how causal abstraction can be used to understand computational explanations in cognitive behavior. The research, authored by Thomas Icard, suggests that causality provides a valuable framework for analyzing computations within systems, particularly in the context of artificial neural networks. The paper connects contemporary machine learning discussions with established philosophical ideas about computation and cognition, focusing on how these concepts relate to generalization and prediction.
