Causal-Aware Tabular GANs with Reinforcement Learning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2510.24046v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing tabular data generation methods primarily focus on matching statistical distributions between real and synthetic data, often overlooking the preservation of underlying causal relationships. As a result, generated samples may appear realistic while failing to maintain the causal structure required for reliable downstream analysis. We propose CA-GAN, a causal-aware generative framework for tabular data synthesis that explicitly incorporates causal knowledge into both the training and generation processes. CA-GAN first extracts a causal graph from real data to provide structural prior knowledge, then employs a graph-conditioned Conditional WGAN-GP whose sub-generators model variables according to their causal dependencies.
