XInsight: eXplainable Data Analysis Through The Lens of Causality

Summary: XInsight enables eXplainable Data Analysis (XDA) via causality in EDA. A three-module pipeline: causal graph extraction, XDA-semantics translation, and explanation attribution, addresses integration challenges; experiments and user study validate its promise.
