🧠 Causal3D: A Benchmark for Visual Causal Reasoning
Causal3D is a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate models’ abilities to uncover latent causal relations from structured and visual data. This dataset integrates 3D-rendered scenes with tabular causal annotations, providing a unified testbed for advancing causal discovery, causal representation learning, and causal reasoning with vision-language models (VLMs) and large language models (LLMs).
📌 Overview
While recent progress in AI and computer vision has been remarkable, there remains a major gap in evaluating causal reasoning over complex visual inputs. Causal3D bridges this gap by providing:
- 19 curated 3D-scene datasets simulating diverse real-world causal phenomena.
- Paired tabular causal graphs and image observations across multiple views and backgrounds.
- Benchmarks for evaluating models in both structured (tabular) and unstructured (image) modalities.
