Distinguished Lecture: A New Framework for Causal Inference in the Health and Social Sciences
In this talk Professor Williamson will provide an introduction to Evidential Pluralism, a new approach to causal inference that has emerged from recent philosophical research on mechanisms in science. According to Evidential Pluralism, in order to establish that A is a cause of B one needs to establish both that A is correlated with B (conditional on potential confounders) and that there is a mechanism from A to B that can account for that correlation; so, in order to assess whether A is a cause of B one needs to scrutinise mechanistic studies alongside studies that measure the extent to which A and B are correlated. Evide...

Battling the Matthew Effect: Can Search Results be Fair?
Search engines are mediators between producers and consumers of information, and the order in which an engine presents its results affects both stakeholder groups in significant ways (e.g., economic livelihood). Top-ranked items provide their producers with much more exposure to the consumer than do lower-ranked items. If a search engine repeatedly returns comparably relevant items in the same order, the rich (more exposed) items will keep getting richer while lower-ranked items will get less and less relative exposure.
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC, trec.nist.gov) project at NIST contained a Fair Ranking track from...
