CRAFT: A Unified Counterfactual Reasoning Framework for Tabular Question Answering and Fact Verification
arXiv:2606.06842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Table reasoning remains challenging for large language models (LLMs), particularly in tasks that require multi-step inference over long and structured tables. Existing approaches predominantly rely on single-direction reasoning, which limits their ability to explore alternative hypotheses across tasks. In this work, we propose CRAFT, a unified Counterfactual Reasoning Framework that reformulates Tabular question answering and fact verification into a general bidirectional verification process. Our method explicitly constructs both declarative sta
The increasing complexity of data and the limitations of current LLM reasoning methods are driving the need for more robust and unified frameworks like CRAFT.
This development could significantly improve the reliability and versatility of AI systems in complex data interpretation, which is critical for enterprise and analytical applications.
Table reasoning and fact verification for LLMs could become more accurate and adaptive, moving beyond single-direction inference towards more generalizable bidirectional approaches.
