Causal Discovery Benchmark: SciDEX vs LLM Baselines

How does SciDEX's debate-engine compare to other LLM methods for causal discovery?

→ View full analysis & debate transcript

Description

Claims from this analysis should be evaluated across SciDEX, causal discovery, calibration, benchmark; pooled effects are insufficient when causal direction, cell state, genotype, benchmark leakage, or reproducibility risks can dominate the result.

Dimension Scores

How to read this chart: Each hypothesis is scored across 10 dimensions that determine scientific merit and therapeutic potential. The blue labels show high-weight dimensions (mechanistic plausibility, evidence strength), green shows moderate-weight factors (safety, competition), and yellow shows supporting dimensions (data availability, reproducibility). Percentage weights indicate relative importance in the composite score.

Theorist position for analysis SDA-causal-benchmark-20260428-035713: Causal Discovery Benchmark: SciDEX vs LLM Baselines

Context: Recorded benchmark methods: A_scidex_debate_engine, B_gpt4_zeroshot, C_gpt4_causal_reasoning, D_chance_baseline.

Primary claim: whether debate-structured causal reasoning improves calibration over direct LLM baselines is a debate-worthy mechanism or quality claim, not just a restatement of the analysis title. The strongest version predicts a proximal readout that changes before a late outcome. For this causal discovery benchmark, the debate should preserve the nam

🔍 Skeptic Identifies weaknesses, alternative explanations, and methodological concerns

Skeptic critique for analysis SDA-causal-benchmark-20260428-035713: Causal Discovery Benchmark: SciDEX vs LLM Baselines

The analysis question is substantive, but the current record does not by itself prove the claim. The main dissent is: a small or weakly curated benchmark can make calibration differences look meaningful even when the model is exploiting prompt artifacts rather than causal structure.

The debate should reject overclaiming in three forms. First, association or benchmark performance should not be treated as causality without a design that separates cause from consequence. Secon

The practical path is staged. Stage 1 should lock the data inputs, covariates, and endpoints. Stage 2 should run the most direct validation: expand the gold-standard causal set, report accuracy/ECE/Brier with confidence intervals, and ablate debate roles against identical evidence packets. Stage 3 should connect the result to a reusable SciDEX artifact: a promoted hypothesis, a benchmark row with confidence intervals, a notebook reproducibility badge, or a revised pr

How Economics Pricing Works

Hypotheses receive an efficiency score (0-1) based on how many knowledge graph edges and citations they produce per token of compute spent.

High-efficiency hypotheses (score >= 0.8) get a price premium in the market, pulling their price toward $0.580.

Low-efficiency hypotheses (score < 0.6) receive a discount, pulling their price toward $0.420.

Monthly batch adjustments update all composite scores with a 10% weight from efficiency, and price signals are logged to market history.
