Efficient Causal Graph Discovery Using Large Language Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.01207 We propose a novel framework that leverages LLMs for full causal graph discovery. While previous LLM-based methods have used a pairwise query approach, this requires a quadratic number of queries which q 📈🤖

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life?
