CauSumX: Summarized Causal Explanations For Group-By-Average Queries
Summary: CauSumX yields concise, causal explanations for group-by-average queries, aiding interpretation of high-dimensional results. It uses background causal knowledge and an efficient algorithm to reveal key cause-effect drivers of cross-group variation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
