SERE: Structural Example Retrieval for Enhancing LLMs in Event Causality Identification

Dimensions overall score 7.0

• A structural example retrieval framework that enhances LLMs for event causality identification by mitigating causal hallucination through concept, syntax, and pattern filtering. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance across various NLP tasks, their effectiveness in ECI remains limited due to biases in causal reasoning, often leading to overprediction of causal relationships (causal hallucination).problem 35%
