Transportable Causal Effect Estimation across Networks under Interference

The paper introduces TranCE, a doubly‑robust algorithm for estimating causal effects when an intervention is applied to one network but the interest lies in another, differing network. By extending selection diagrams to capture covariate and structural network shifts, the authors derive transport formulas for direct, spillover, and total effects, and validate the method on semi‑synthetic social‑network benchmarks and a real weather‑insurance field experiment.

Discovering Generalizable Governing Equations for Graph Dynamical Systems with Interpretable Neural Networks

arXiv:2508. 18173v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The discovery of symbolic governing equations is a central goal in science; yet, it remains challenging particularly for graph dynamical systems, where the network topology further shapes the system behavior.

Multi-Source Complex Network Reconstruction via Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Optimization and Algorithm Unrolling

The paper introduces MS‑WDRO, a multi‑source Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization framework for reconstructing complex network topologies from scarce target‑domain data and abundant heterogeneous source data. It fuses sources via a weighted Wasserstein barycenter, builds an ambiguity set around it, and solves a regularized Laplacian estimator using a provably convergent ADMM scheme. The authors provide finite‑sample guarantees, demonstrate that naive aggregation is suboptimal, and show through experiments on synthetic data and the ABIDE I neuroimaging dataset that MS‑WDRO outperforms seven baselines in graph recovery, sample efficiency, and diagnostic utility, especially when target samples are limited.
