====== Causality ======

==== Definition ====
  * The best operational definition for annotating causality in text comes from this paper: [[https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W14-2903.pdf|Ikuta 2014]]
    * The definition is X CAUSES Y "if, according to the writer, the particular EVENT Y was inevitable given the particular EVENT X."
    * They also operationalize PRECONDITION as "had the particular EVENT X not happened, the particular EVENT Y would not have happened."  See [[https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W16-5706.pdf|O’Gorman et al 2016]].
