arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

Understanding contextual causality is critical for large language models (LLMs), as it enables them to accurately identify causal relations in specific situations and support more reliable decision-making. Despite its significance, a systematic exploration of contextual causality with LLMs is still lacking. To fill this gap, we present a comprehensive survey on this topic. In this survey, we first propose a taxonomy of contextual causality, consisting of semantic, intervention, and counterfactual causality, and characterize each category by its core causal question, required model capabilities
