This paper proposes a novel architecture called Context Aware Reasoning Enhancement with Counterfactual Analysis (CARE CA) framework to enhance causal reasoning and explainability in Large Language Models (LLMs). The CARE CA framework combines explicit and implicit causal reasoning methods, incorporating an explicit causal detection module with ConceptNet and counterfactual statements, as well as implicit causal detection through LLMs. This architecture aims to provide a deeper understanding of causal relationships, enabling enhanced interpretability. Evaluation on benchmark datasets shows improved performance across all metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores.

This paper is trying to figure out how large language models can better understand cause-and-effect relationships in language. Right now, there are two main ways they do this: one that uses specific rules, and another that lets the model learn from examples. The researchers propose a new way that combines both of these methods, which they call CARE CA. This new approach adds extra layers to help the model understand what it’s learning. They tested their method on special datasets and found that it worked better than before.
