• Existing retrieval-augmented approaches rely on passive similarity-based retrieval that selects correlated but non-causal examples.limitation 90%
  Evidencepartial

  Existing retrieval-augmented approaches typically rely on passive similarity-based retrieval, which tends to select correlated but non-causal examples

• CIRCLES enables VLMs to implicitly reason about causal relations between attributes and outcomes.method 80%
  Evidencepartial

  By incorporating counterfactual-style examples, CIRCLES enables VLMs to implicitly reason about the causal relations between attributes and outcomes

• Vision-language models often struggle to disentangle fine-grained visual attributes and reason about underlying causal relationships.limitation 90%
  Evidencepartial

  Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive performance across a wide range of multimodal reasoning tasks, but they often struggle to disentangle fine-grained visual attributes and reason about underlying causal relationships
