A Critique on the Interventional Detection of Causal Relationships
Interventions are of fundamental importance in Pearl's probabilistic causality regime. In this paper, we will inspect how interventions influence the interpretation of causation in causal models in specific situation. To this end, we will introduce a priori relationships as non-causal relationships in a causal system. Then, we will proceed to discuss the cases that interventions can lead to spurious causation interpretations. This includes the interventional detection of a priori relationships, and cases where the interventional detection of causality forms structural causal models that are not valid in natural situations. We will also discuss other properties of a priori relations and SCMs that have a priori information in their structural equations.

Epistemic Regret Minimization: Label-Free Causal Critique Beyond Outcome Reward
Large language models can answer causal questions correctly for the wrong reasons. Current RL methods reward \emph{what} a model concludes but ignore \emph{why}, reinforcing correlational shortcuts -- a failure we call \…

Linear Causal Representation Learning from Unknown Multi-node Interventions
Despite the multifaceted recent advances in interventional causal representation learning (CRL), they primarily focus on the stylized assumption of single-node interventions. This assumption is not valid in a wide range …
