Incresed by X percent extracted as a causal relation

[bgyori]

I guess the pattern here is "A increased by B" being extracted as B causes A but "increase by" is often followed by the magnitude of the increase, not its cause:

• Wheat consumption increased by more than 900 percent
• net sorghum production increased by only 15 percentage points
• wheat increased by 69, 40, and 40 percentage points

These types of sentences shouldn't yield causal extractions.

Similar issues include extractions from sentences like:

• absolute number of IDPs increased by about 250 000 people
• surplus shrunk to only about 15 000 tonnes

This is also confirmed to still be an issue with the current version
