arXiv:2607. 11510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal discovery from observational tabular data remains fundamentally challenging, primarily due to the heterogeneity of underlying causal mechanisms and the high-dimensional combinatorial search space of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs).
The paper establishes a precise mathematical link between graph surgery and the do‑operator in deterministic acyclic structural causal models. It shows that deleting arrows in a graph corresponds exactly to replacing the associated mechanisms with constants, proving that “Graph(F^\iota)=Surg(Graph(F),T_\iota)”. The authors further characterize when this equality holds for the full graph, define the intervened model, and demonstrate how sequential interventions combine, concluding that an outcome depends only on interventions at its actual dependency ancestors.

arXiv:2606. 19594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal abstractions formalize when a high-level structural causal model (SCM) captures the interventional behavior of a lower-level SCM.
The paper addresses causal discovery in Directed Acyclic Graphs where nodes are either ordinal (modeled with an ordered logit) or follow a one‑parameter exponential family distribution. It proves that the direction of edges between such nodes is identifiable for generic parameter values, extending prior Ordinal‑Poisson results. The authors also propose a score‑based exhaustive search and a masked continuous optimization method using DAGMA, and demonstrate through simulations that these approaches recover orientations that are otherwise unidentifiable under classical structural equation models.

arXiv:2605. 03268v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Here we introduce Partially Observed Structural Causal Models (POSCMs) as an extension of structural causal models (SCMs) to settings where upstream contexts co-determine both the interaction structure and downstream mechanisms on observed variables.
