arXiv:2406. 08311v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing evaluations of tabular synthesis models rely primarily on low-order statistics and downstream task performance, leaving multivariate causal relationships that go beyond pairwise correlations largely unmeasured.
EmbeddGAN introduces a new GAN framework that replaces the traditional discriminator with an embedding network trained to maximize statistical dependence between embeddings and real/fake labels using Gini distance correlation (gCor). The generator simultaneously minimizes this dependence, encouraging real and generated samples to become indistinguishable in the learned low‑dimensional embedding space. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and CelebA show competitive performance and notably more stable training dynamics compared to established baselines.
TabCausal is a causal discovery foundation model that learns to map datasets directly to causal graphs by pretraining across diverse causal environments. It uses a dynamic task construction strategy to expose the model to varied graph priors, mechanisms, noise models, dimensions, sample sizes, and intervention regimes, improving transferability from observational and mixed‑interventional data. On large synthetic benchmarks and a new protocol‑guided semantic benchmark, TabCausal outperforms many classical baselines and shows robust structure recovery, especially when interventional evidence is available.
arXiv:2604. 23904v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic tabular data are often evaluated by distributional similarity, privacy distance, or train-on-synthetic-test-on-real predictive performance, but these criteria do not ensure validity for causal inference.

CausalProfiler is a synthetic benchmark generator designed to evaluate causal machine learning (Causal ML) methods more rigorously and transparently. It randomly samples causal models, data, queries, and ground truths based on explicit design choices across observation, intervention, and counterfactual reasoning levels, providing coverage guarantees and transparent assumptions. The authors demonstrate its utility by testing several state‑of‑the‑art methods under diverse conditions, both within and outside the identification regime, highlighting the insights CausalProfiler can reveal.
The paper investigates whether the stable GAN architecture R3GAN can improve time‑series imputation when adapted to 1‑D temporal data. Using a coarse‑to‑fine refinement framework and a frequency‑domain discriminator, the authors evaluate 14 saved configurations across three datasets and find a negative result: most configurations either show negligible improvement or degrade performance compared to baseline methods. The study highlights that the usual argument—GANs optimize distributional objectives rather than point‑wise ones—does not fully explain the lack of benefit, and it poses an open problem regarding why a learned discriminator fails to provide useful refinement gradients while diffusion denoisers succeed, offering practical guidance on when adversarial refinement may be worthwhile.
