Sequential Causal Discovery with Noisy Language Model Priors

ArXi:2506.16234v2 Announce Type: replace Causal discovery from observational data typically assumes access to complete data and availability of perfect domain experts. In practice, data often arrive in batches, are subject to sampling bias, and expert knowledge is scarce. Language Models (LMs) offer a surrogate for expert knowledge but suffer from hallucinations, inconsistencies, and bias. We present a hybrid framework that bridges these gaps by adaptively integrating sequential batch data with LM-derived noisy, expert knowledge while accounting for both data-induced and LM-induced biases.
