A Framework for Directed Acyclic Hypergraph Learning (opens in new tab)

Continuous optimization methods for learning Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) operate on weighted adjacency matrices and are therefore limited to pairwise causal relationships. We propose a framework for learning Directed Acyclic Hypergraphs (DAHGs) from observational data, capturing joint parental influences that pairwise models cannot represent. Our approach rests on three components: (i) a generalized linear structural equation model (SEM) with...
