contents Causality is receiving increasing attention by the artificial intelligence and machine learning communities. This paper gives an example of modelling a recommender system problem using causal graphs. Specifically, we approached the causal discovery task to learn a causal graph by combining observational data from an open-source dataset with prior knowledge. The resulting causal graph shows that only a few variables effectively influence the analysed feedback signals. This contrasts with the recent trend in the machine learning community to include more and more variables in massive models, such as neural networks.
