Enhancing identification of causal effects by pruning
2018
Causal models communicate our assumptions about causes and effects in real-world phe- nomena. Often the interest lies in the identification of the effect of an action which means deriving an expression from the observed probability distribution for the interventional distribution resulting from the action. In many cases an identifiability algorithm may return a complicated expression that contains variables that are in fact unnecessary. In practice this can lead to additional computational burden and increased bias or inefficiency of estimates when dealing with measurement error or missing data. We present graphical criteria to detect variables which are redundant in identifying causal effe…
Causality-Aware Convolutional Neural Networks for Advanced Image Classification and Generation
2023
Smart manufacturing uses emerging deep learning models, and particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), for different industrial diagnostics tasks, e.g., classification, detection, recognition, prediction, synthetic data generation, security, etc., on the basis of image data. In spite of being efficient for these objectives, the majority of current deep learning models lack interpretability and explainability. They can discover features hidden within input data together with their mutual co-occurrence. However, they are weak at discovering and making explicit hidden causalities between the features, which could be the reason behind the parti…

Dynamical Casimir-Polder forces
2010
We consider the dynamical (time-dependent) Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a perfectly conducting wall, as well as the dynamical Casimir-Polder force between two atoms in the presence of a boundary condition such as a conducting wall. The dynamical Casimir-Polder forces are obtained from iterative solutions of the Heisenberg equations for the time evolution of the electric and magnetic field operators around one atom in the presence of the conducting wall and related field energy densities, which are valid for any initial state. We consider both the case of an initially bare atomic state and of an initially partially dressed atomic state. The problem of relativistic causality in th…

Μία χελιδὼν ἔαρ οὐ ποιεἶ? (a proposito della prima applicazione dell'art. 18 st. lav. modificato dalla l.92/12 al licenziamento disciplinare illegit…
2012
L'articolo, prendendo spunto dall'ordinanza del Tribunale di Bologna, analizza criticamente il tema, introdotto dalla novella all'art. 18 st. lav., della differenziazione delle sanzioni contro il licenziamento illegittimo in finzione della tipologia di illegittimità. Nell'aderire ai presupposti enunciati nell'ordinanza lo studio propone una propria lettura della novellazione avanzando la tesi della modificazione indiretta delle fattispecie giustificatrici. The study, starting from case law Trib. Bologna October 15, 2012 CP v. A., critically addresses interpretation problems posed by the new law of individual dismissal.
Rule of the One: Avicenna, Bahmanyār, and al-Rāzī on the Argument from the Mubāḥathāt
2020
Avicenna is a strong proponent of what some of the later ones call qāʻidat al-wāḥid or ‘rule of the one’ (RO). The gist of RO states: from the one only one directly proceeds. In the secondary literature, discussion of this Avicennian rule is usually limited to a particular application of it i.e., the issue of emanation. As result, it’s not really clear what RO means, nor why Avicenna endorsed it. In this paper, I try and remedy this situation by doing two things – one on the taṣawwur front, the other on the tasdīq. First, explain just what the terms of RO amount to – that is, its subject and predicate. In doing this, I distinguish between a narrow and a broad understanding of RO, and the sh…
