Unmasking Removal-Budget Confounding: A Matched Operating-Point Evaluation Framework for Adaptive Data Cleaning
A new evaluation framework corrects for 'removal-budget confounding' in adaptive data-cleaning methods by enforcing matched operating points (budget and recall), revealing that many reported performance gains vanish when evaluation bias is removed.

Diagnosing Correctness Probes under Self-Judgement Confounding
A research paper identifies a confounding effect in language model correctness probes where self-judgement (SJ) dominates over objective correctness (OC), undermining the interpretability of hidden-state readouts used to assess model output accuracy.

How Does Bayesian Causal Discovery Fail? Characterising Structural Consequences in Linear Gaussian Networks under Latent Confounding
A new arXiv preprint identifies and characterizes two distinct failure regimes of Bayesian causal discovery methods when applied to linear Gaussian models with additive latent confounding between exactly two observed variables, showing that increasing sample size lowers the correlation threshold at which spurious edges are favoured.
