    "title": "A Resource-Rational Approach to the Causal Frame Problem",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The causal frame problem is an epistemological puzzle about\nhow the mind is able to disregard seemingly irrelevant causal\nknowledge, and focus on those factors that promise to be useful\nin making an inference or coming to a decision. Taking\na subject’s causal knowledge to be (implicitly) represented in\nterms of directed graphical models, the causal frame problem\ncan be construed as the question of how to determine a reasonable\n“submodel” of one’s “full model” of the world, so as\nto optimize the balance between accuracy in prediction on the\none hand, and computational costs on the other. We propose a\nframework for addressing this problem, and provide several illustrative\nexamples based on HMMs and Bayes nets. We also\nshow that our framework can account for some of the recent\nempirical phenomena associated with alternative neglect.",
