Towards Complete Causal Explanation with Expert Knowledge

arXiv:2407. 07338v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of restricting a Markov equivalence class of maximal ancestral graphs (MAGs) to only those MAGs that contain certain edge marks, which we refer to as expert or orientation knowledge.

Epidemiological Causal Graph Identification: Challenges, Identifiability and Algorithms

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.

AutoGraphForge: Towards Automated Graph Theory Discovery

AutoGraphForge is a computational pipeline designed to automate the discovery, refutation, formalization, and proving of graph-theoretic conjectures. It generates conjectures using a Graffiti3 generator, filters out known results with a novelty filter, tests candidates against a large dataset of graphs, and refines surviving conjectures through counterexample search. The pipeline then translates each conjecture into Lean 4, verifies proofs with neural provers, and integrates the results into a formal library.

Grounding LLM Reasoning under Incomplete Graph Evidence

Knowledge graphs can guide large language models (LLMs) reasoning, but the graph seen by a system is usually a retrieved, linked, temporally scoped, and incomplete evidence state rather than a complete account of truth. We develop a theoretical perspective on grounding observable LLM trajectories under such incomplete graph evidence.

GoT-CD: Graph-of-Thoughts Causal Discovery and the Fragility of Post-hoc Path-Specific Fairness Audits

arXiv:2608. 02877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal discovery recovers directed structure from observational data and is increasingly used in clinical settings to support mechanism reasoning and fairness audits of predictive models.
