Workshop in Japan

I recently visited Japan to give an invited talk at the International Workshop on the Interface between Statistical Causal Inference and Bayesian Networks. The workshop was organized by Dr. Kuroki and Dr. Cai. I had a wonderful time during the visit. Many beautiful places, delicious food (sushi and tonkatsu were sublime) and most of all many nice people.

Here are some pictures.
