Abstract: Causal Model building for complex problems has typically been completed manually by domain experts and is a time-consuming, cumbersome process. Operational Design defines a process of rapid, structured discourse for teams to envision systems and relationships about complex, “wicked” problems, however, the resulting models are simple diagrams produced on whiteboards or slides, and as such, do not support computational analytics, thus limiting usefulness. We introduce CauseWorks, an application that helps operators “sketch” complex systems and transforms sketches into computational causal models using automatic and semiautomatic causal model construction from knowledge extracted from unstructured and structured documents. CauseWorks then provides computational analytics to assist users in understanding and influencing the system. We walk through human-machine collaborative model-building with CauseWorks and describe its application to regional conflict scenarios. We discuss feedback fr om subject matter experts as well as lessons learned. (More)
