AI for Social Good: An Investigation of the Causal Relationship Between Environmental Regulations and Their Effects on Air Pollution in London, UK

arXiv:2606. 15257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Air pollution regulation is central to urban public health governance, but estimating its effects is difficult because policies are implemented non-randomly and pollution trajectories are shaped by meteorology, socioeconomic change, temporal trends, and overlapping interventions.

Learning Hierarchical Causal Representations of the Effects of Forcings on Temperature in Climate Models

The paper presents a hierarchical causal representation learning framework that models both internal climate variability and forced responses in sea surface temperature fields from a global climate model. By training on future climate change scenarios, the method accurately predicts long‑term global mean and regional temperature evolution and reproduces realistic responses to perturbations in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations on unseen scenarios. This demonstrates the potential of causal representation learning to improve climate model emulation.

Toward a Causal Data Management Ecosystem for Decision Making and Agentic AI

arXiv:2608. 07214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern AI is no longer a single model but an ecosystem: classical ML predictors, deep and multimodal models, large language models, and agents, each trained and tuned over different data sources and each producing outputs at scale that become inputs to the others.

Air Quality Station Simulation via LSTM and Attention-Based Modelling

Poor air quality in urban areas is driven by a complex chain of processes and presents a significant public health concern. To better understand and control the mechanisms that determine air quality, cities deploy networks of measurement stations, and launch initiatives for collecting denser data about the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere.
