Causation, Bayesian Networks, and Cognitive Maps

Causation plays a critical role in many predictive and inference tasks. Bayesian networks (BNs) have been used to construct inference systems for diagnostics and decision making. More recently, fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have gained consid- erable attention and offer an alternative framework for representing structured human knowledge and causal inference. In this paper I briefly introduce Bayesian networks and cognitive networks and their causal inference processes in intelligent systems.
