arXiv:2606. 07525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal graphs in text are typically populated by observable, predefined events.
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).
arXiv:2606. 10607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal discovery aims to uncover causal structures from observational data, which is crucial for real-world decision-making.
MaSCoD is a multi‑agent framework that explicitly addresses the premature omission of causal relations by first organizing candidate third variables and local structural patterns before making direct‑edge judgments. Using GPT‑5.4 and GPT‑4o as backbones, the study evaluates MaSCoD on Auto‑MPG, DWD, and Sachs datasets, finding that the Full phase—where structural hypotheses are supplied early—generally improves recall and F1 scores compared to a No Phase 1 approach, though it can also raise false‑positive rates. Ablation experiments reveal that providing both structural and contextual information does not always outperform providing only one, and that the benefits of the Full phase vary across datasets and backbones. whyItMatters":"The paper demonstrates that explicitly pre‑organizing structural context can improve causal graph generation performance, highlighting the importance of designing omission control mechanisms in causal discovery with large language models."
MaSCoD is a multi‑agent framework that explicitly organizes candidate third variables and local structural patterns before making direct‑edge judgments in causal discovery. Using GPT‑5.4 and GPT‑4o on datasets such as Auto‑MPG, DWD, and Sachs, the study shows that providing structural hypotheses in a separate phase (Full) generally improves recall and F1 scores compared to constructing them during judgment, though it can also raise false‑positive rates. Ablation experiments reveal that the benefit of supplying both structural components is not guaranteed, and the advantage varies across datasets and model backbones.
