arXiv:2407.15073v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Causal discovery aims to identify causal relationships between variables and is a fundamental problem across the sciences. Traditional statistical causal discovery (SCD) methods rely solely on observational data and ignore the contextual information available in metadata, whereas recent LLM-based methods exploit metadata but treat the large language model (LLM) as a single agent, leaving its judgments vulnerable to memorized or biased associations. To address this gap, we introduce MAC (Multi-Agent Causal Discovery Framework), which cas
The proliferation of increasingly capable large language models (LLMs) and the growing need for robust causal inference in complex systems drive the development of multi-agent approaches.
This development enhances the reliability and contextual understanding of causal discovery, moving beyond the limitations of purely statistical or single-agent LLM systems, which is critical for scientific research and AI development.
The introduction of multi-agent frameworks for causal discovery mitigates biases and improves the accuracy of identifying relationships by incorporating diverse perspectives and contextual information.
