More formally, one could describe this quandary as a domain with an unknown (or ill-understood) structure. While "big data", especially in the field of marketing, is expected to rapidly yield "actionable business insights," we need to recognize that there are many steps to traverse to achieve this goal. One crucial element is the formal transition from observational inference to causal inference. In this webinar, Dr. Lionel Jouffe and Stefan Conrady will demonstrate the benefits of employing Bayesian networks as a robust framework to make the leap from observational data to causal reasoning.

The crowds coming to our BayesiaLab stand were at times overwhelming, but they illustrated the ever-growing interest in Bayesian networks. In his introductory talk, Stefan Conrady highlighted the importance of Bayesian networks for making the leap from observational to causal inference. Kudos to the team from the ACM San Francisco Bay Area Professional Chapter for bringing together the brightest minds in data mining from Silicon Valley and beyond! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BayesiaLab Training Schedule for 2012 http://cts.vresp.com/c/?ConradyAppliedScienc/6f328a80de/7321495e85/36bba33fbb/utm_content=devrob%40developmentalrobotics.org&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Text%20Version%20-%20Link%203&utm_campaign=%40BayesianNetwork%20-%2010%2F2011%20Newsletter We just completed the final BayesiaLab training for the year 2011 in Atlanta with an enthusiastic team of participants from academia and applied science.
