Causal Search for Skylines (CSS): Causally-Informed Selective Data De-Correlation

Summary: Uses causal graphs to selectively de-correlate skyline preference attributes: remove correlations misaligned with preferences while preserving beneficial ones. CSS is agnostic to enumeration/pruning algorithms and reduces dominance checks and runtime across datasets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 26 2026)
