Thanks! You're correct in surmising that our approach was heavily influenced by Judea Pearl's research.
And yes, the timing of the blog post isn't a coincidence, we actually filed a patent last week :)
- stewart87 7y agoJust read Pearl's book! Can you link to the patent?
- bertil 7y agoIf you are implementing a documented technique, what are your claims of originality for a patent? I’m asking because we are building our own implementation of mSPRT. There are some variants but I didn’t expect enough to patent. We are confronted with internal debates and I’d rather have actual examples than ageing memory of my law class.
- bmahmood 7y agoThanks for the interest! (Cofounder of Clearbrain here). The patent covers a combination of statistical techniques and engineering systems we built. The tricky part of this is the infrastructure needed to select confounding variables and estimate treatment effects for thousands of variables at scale in seconds. That was what we filed a patent on.
- selimthegrim 7y agoI'm reading his book right now as well. Looking forward to your work.
