An investigation into the accident causal influence of construction project features
… the need to pay attention to underlying accident causal factors which emanate from the pre-construction stage in order to have sustained improvement in H&S. Construction project features (CPFs), such as nature of project, method of construction, site restriction, procurement method, project …

Detecting and analyzing bursty events on Twitter
… along two dimensions, semantic coherence and causal influence. Semantic coherence measures the semantic relatedness of the tweets in a burst to each other based on a deep neural network derived embedding of tweet contents. Causal influence measures the potential causal interaction between …

The design of collaborative projects: language, metaphor, conversation and the systems approach
… purpose of CPD is to provide a systemic model of causal influences and social process in order to guide a project designer when intervening in projects which call for acts of shared creation and/or discovery. CPD was developed through a combination of action research (in projects involving …

The relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction among Saudi Airline employees in the Jeddah area of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
… satisfaction by the presence of only positive causal influence from job satisfaction to life satisfaction instead. The positive causal influence from job satisfaction to life satisfaction supports the spillover theory.</p>

Information and generative deep learning with applications to medical time-series
… a universal accepted framework for understanding causal influence in time-series, issues with poor quality data segments that bias downstream tasks, and important privacy concerns around releasing sensitive personal data. These challenges are by no means unique to this clinical application, and …

Social and affective machine learning
… First, I show how AI agents can learn from the causal influence of their actions on other agents, leading to enhanced coordination and communication in multi-agent reinforcement learning. Second, I investigate learning socially from humans, using non-verbal and implicit affective signals such as …

Effects of music and dance training on executive functions in children
… A controlled experiment was used to isolate the causal influence of music and dance training on the executive functions of working memory, interference control, and task switching. Children between 6-9 years old were randomly assigned to music or dance groups, and tested on executive functions …

Effects Of Curiosity On Socialization-Related Learning And Job Performance In Adults
… determined, recursive path models suggesting a causal influence of curiosity on socialization-related learning and job performance were tested as well. Standardized partial regression coefficients were calculated from a combination of the correlational matrix containing the three main study …

Using system dynamics to explore gini coefficient parametrics
… dynamics simulation tool highlighted the direct causal influence of Gini coefficient on residential electricity consumption, by using equations as opposed to correlations. Results show that for a GDP growth rate of 2, by year 2035, a Gini coefficient of 0.5 is linked to a 3.14 increase in …

Safe and Ethical Implementation of Intelligent Systems
… levels. We first explore the problem of tracing causal influence from training data to outputs of generative models. In our exploration we encounter the phenomenon of unattributability, and consider its scientific and regulatory implications. We next tackle the challenge of designing a high …

A Sociological Study of Addiction: Power and Social Change from the "rock bottom up"
… is an attempt to establish the direction of causal influence on social change as it applies to the history of addiction/recovery from each author’s perspective. By firstly examining the history of ideas (cultural system) from a critical realist perspective followed by an exploration of how …

Living with Institutions: A Micro-Level Explanation of Informal Economic Activity
… orientating lens to organise and understand the causal importance different institutional factors have over time. The findings from this study indicate that IEA is the result of the temporal relationship between institutional factors. The structural conditioning of decision making is the result …

The press of a people : the evolution of Spanish-language news and the changing political community
… said groups within articles. The assignment of causal influence is not, however, as clear-cut as it initially seems; journalistic practices and dynamics with the news organizations shaped how competition would influence coverage.

A Short Window Granger Causality Approach to Identify Brain Functional Pattern Associated with Changes of Performance Induced by Sleep Deprivation
… of fMRI data into consecutive windows, Granger causality was applied based on short trials of fMRI data. This procedure helped to calculate pairwise causal influences with respect to time-varying property in brain causal interaction. Causal influence results were then averaged across sessions to …

Bayesian causal inference of cell signal transduction from proteomics experiments
… investigators apply machine learning methods for causal inference to develop causal Bayesian network models of signal transduction from experimental data. Directed edges in the network represent causal regulatory relationships, and the model can be used to predict the effects of interventions to …

Comparative Physiological and Genomic Analyses of Division of Labor in Honey Bees and Paper Wasps
… that a change in nutritional status can have a causal influence on behavior. Additionally, my results show that social interactions between workers are necessary for bees to attain high lipid stores as found in hive-workers, but that social interactions and nutrition act independently to …
