In light of how important it is (especially in terms of all the decision theory posts!) to know about Judea Pearl's causality ideas, I thought I might share something that helped me get up to speed on it: this lecture on Reasoning with Cause and Effect.

For me, it has the right combination of detail and brevity. Other books and papers on Pearlean causality were either too pedantic or too vague about the details, but I learned a lot from the slides, which come with good notes. Anyone know what proceedings papers it refers to though?
