[Submitted on 10 Jul 2024 (v1), last revised 15 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Teaching Transformers Causal Reasoning through Axiomatic Training, by Aniket Vashishtha and 6 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:For text-based AI systems to interact in the real world, causal reasoning is an essential skill. Since active interventions are costly, we study to what extent a system can learn causal reasoning from symbolic demonstrations of causal axioms. Specifically, we present an axiomatic training method where the system learns from multiple demonstrations of a causal axiom (or rule), rather than incorporating…
