Creating certainty through uncertainty

From biology to physics to chemistry and more, the study of causality is used to answer big, important ‘why’ questions. At the most basic level, this is why all research is undertaken — to isolate and better understand why things happen. Getting deep into the mechanics of why things happen — into the minutiae of how X causes Y — is the focus of MBZUAI Professor Kun Zhang’s work. His research delves into the murky waters of cause and effect, particularly as it relates to algorithms and artificial intelligence systems.

Researchers strive to discover something new in the hope to uncover the next breakthrough in their field and have a lasting effect on future discoveries and advancements. They hope their work will stand the test of time and be accepted by their peers in years to come for its ground-breaking nature. For Dr. Kun Zhang, associate professor of machine learning at MBZUAI, his work from a decade ago has been awarded a Test of Time Award Honorable Mention at this week's International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) in Baltimore, USA (July 17-23, 2022).

Our devices collect vast troves of data about our lives. This data is useful for myriad reasons—alerting us to health concerns, optimizing our bank accounts, providing an endless stream of fascinating content to consume. But once that data is collected and centralized it becomes a target for hackers, marketers, political campaigns, and more. So how do we get what we need out of the data we collect, without opening ourselves to risk?

Metaphorically, the toddler brain is similar to a sponge. It is ever evolving — both recalling things from the past, and developing new connections to the present. This capacity is so great, in fact, that the founder of the Montessori learning system, Dr. Maria Montessori, termed the first six years of life the period of the "Absorbent Mind" due to children’s extraordinary capacity to soak up and recall vast amounts of new information. Not surprisingly then, for the machine learning community, one long-standing goal has been to mimic the super-human feats of learning observed in the developing brains of toddlers.
