Stress-Testing Causal Claims via Cardinality Repairs

Summary: SubCure stress-tests observational causal claims by solving cardinality-repair problems: find minimum tuple/pattern deletions that move an estimated effect into a target range. Shows even small data errors can flip causal conclusions; NP-complete formulations, then scalable incremental/unlearning-based auditing. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on Apr 11 2026)
