Looking for Pirdoudan: The Past, Present, and Future of Mining in Armenia by Vosgueritchian, Sarine Gacia

“…The extraction of the geological layers of Pirdoudan has effectively erased millennials of memory retained by the earth. While geological studies have allowed us to date these layers and put meaning to the accumulations, scattered archival records and media are today’s most readily available material that allow us to piece together the narratives of our past and present moment. …”

Causal Structure Learning through Double Machine Learning by Soleymani, Ashkan

“…Learning the causal structure of a system solely from observational data is a fundamental yet intricate task with numerous applications across various fields, including economics, earth sciences, biology, and medicine. This task is challenging due to several reasons: i) observational data alone, as opposed to interventional data, do not characterize the properties of the system under interventions on variables; therefore, it contains information on correlation instead of cause-effect one, ii) unobserved confounders may induce biases for the algorithms, leading to false causal inferences instead of revealing the correct causal structure, like a hidden common confounder, iii) the number of potential underlying structures increases super-exponentially with the number of variables, posing significant statistical and computational challenges and iv) the identifiability problem arises because multiple causal models can yield the same observational distribution, making it impossible to conclusively determine the true structure. …”
