🧠 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.

🧩 Dataset Structure

Each sub-dataset (scene) contains:

• images/: Rendered images under different camera views and backgrounds.
• metadata.csv: Instance-level annotations including object attributes and positions.
