Eliciting Causal Knowledge from Agents

Causal discovery is the task of learning a causal model from a source of information. Traditionally, the community has focused on algorithms that infer causal models from observational and/or interventional data, while alternative approaches have been only marginally explored. The proposed work aims to contribute to the theoretical foundations connecting agent-based systems with causal modeling, and to identify conditions under which newly developed causal discovery algorithms can be applied to elicit causal knowledge from agents.
