How Causality Bridges the Semantic Gap

The paper introduces CausalBridge, a framework that uses causal structure to assign semantics to unnamed variables in numerical measurements. By discovering a causal graph from the data and solving for variable embeddings constrained by this graph, the method aligns variable meanings with a language model, outperforming association‑based approaches. Experiments on questionnaires and robotics scenarios show high accuracy even when most variable names are masked, enabling rapid and cost‑effective system naming.

TempoBench: Reasoning Execution Without Causal Attribution Is Just Simulation

arXiv:2510. 27544v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current training paradigms, optimized for long-horizon reasoning trace execution, have made Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at pattern matching and forward simulation of reasoning, but underperform at counterfactual causal understanding and reasoning.

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.
