The article discusses a new approach to diagnosing vehicle faults by treating diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) as a high‑cardinality language. It proposes Transformer‑based models for predicting event sequences, scalable causal discovery frameworks, and a multi‑agent system that automatically generates Boolean error‑pattern rules. These methods aim to replace manual, error‑prone grouping of DTCs with automated, scalable fault diagnostics.

The paper proposes a new framework for automated fault diagnostics in modern vehicles by treating diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) as a high‑dimensional language. It introduces Transformer‑based models for predictive maintenance, scalable causal discovery methods, and a multi‑agent system that automatically generates Boolean error‑pattern rules. The approach aims to replace costly manual grouping of DTCs with scalable, data‑driven techniques.

ConstructCIE is a manually annotated dataset designed for extracting causal information from OSHA construction accident reports. It employs a hierarchical schema that categorizes accident types, causal factors, sub‑causal factors, and the supporting evidence spans. Experiments with supervised sequence taggers and instruction‑tuned large language models show strong performance on accident‑type prediction and broad causal recovery, yet precise span‑level extraction remains challenging, highlighting the need for better domain grounding and evidence extraction.

SAFARI is the first industrial benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in automotive hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) under ISO 26262. It comprises 3,000 de‑identified HARA cases and tests two tasks: open‑ended hazard generation and standards‑grounded risk classification, using a novel reference‑anchored LLM‑as‑a‑judge protocol. Experiments with nine state‑of‑the‑art LLMs show that while hazard narratives are often plausible, risk classification remains weak (best ASIL macro‑F1 = 0.261), with errors mainly due to missing scenario context and misjudged controllability.
"whyItMatters":"The benchmark highlights the current limitations of LLMs in safety‑critical engineering workflows, guiding future research and expert oversight in automotive safety analysis."

The paper presents a decision‑aware framework for predicting dementia‑related crash severity that emphasizes auditability and selective deferral. Using 4,781 Texas crash records, the authors evaluate several models—including structured, narrative, fusion, calibrated fusion, BERT‑family, and local large‑language‑model baselines—under a stratified 70/15/15 split. The leakage‑controlled Gemma model achieves the highest macro‑F1 of 0.545, while a calibrated fusion model reaches 0.522 macro‑F1 with an expected calibration error of 0.033; selective deferral further improves performance, raising macro‑F1 to 0.573 at 70% coverage and reducing severity cost to 0.577.

The paper introduces CERTID, a formal identification pipeline that uses the sound and complete causal identification algorithm ID to certify whether a causal effect is identifiable from a given graph and query. CERTID also verifies returned formulas against structural causal models with known interventional distributions, mitigating structural leakage and providing grading guarantees. The authors evaluate three frontier reasoning models on 1,200 certified instances, finding that accuracy is a poor proxy for soundness, with false-claim rates on non-identifiable queries varying by seventeen-fold across models.
