CausalKG: Causal Knowledge Graph Explainability Using Interventional and Counterfactual Reasoning

Humans use causality and hypothetical retrospection in their daily decision-making, planning, and understanding of life events.1 The human mind, while retrospecting a given situation, think about questions such as “What was the cause of the given situation?,” “What would be the effect of my action?,” “What would have happened if I had taken another action instead?,” or “Which action led to this effect?” The human mind has an innate understanding of causality.15 It develops a causal model of the world, which learns with fewer data points, makes inferences, and contemplates counterfactual scenarios.8 The unseen and unknown scenarios are called “counterfactuals.”2
