Neural-Bayesian Structure Learning (Neural-BSL) integrates differentiable structure learning with random-utility discrete choice estimation in a single differentiable framework. It keeps observed choices outside the graph to avoid distortion, learns attribute interactions through a structure-weighted network, and propagates interventions by updating attributes in topological order before recomputing utilities and choice probabilities. Evaluations on Seoul stated-preference and London revealed-preference data show Neural-BSL matches conventional benchmarks in predictive performance while uncovering behaviorally coherent dependency structures and revealing downstream traveler and trip adjustments under policy scenarios.
Conventional discrete choice and machine learning models are estimated primarily from observational data and typically treat explanatory covariates as parallel inputs, providing no internal mechanism...

arXiv:2509. 07123v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generalized extreme value models capture dependence among choice alternatives in discrete choice modeling, but require this dependence to be predefined, symmetric, and shared uniformly across individuals.
arXiv:2607. 13314v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular foundation models (TFMs) generate predictions on structured data via in-context learning, without task-specific estimation.

arXiv:2607. 28854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete choice modeling is a common tool used for preference elicitation during policy-making, but this is typically done through parametric models.
arXiv:2606. 26432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular foundation models achieve strong accuracy on choice prediction tasks, but their predictions often violate the economic logic those tasks require: raising a price can increase predicted demand, implied willingness-to-pay estimates are frequently negative or implausible, and unavailable alternatives receive nonzero probability.

The paper introduces Neural ODE-LMM, a hybrid model that integrates a Neural Ordinary Differential Equation into a linear mixed‑effects framework to flexibly learn time‑varying associations between exposures and outcomes. By encoding covariate trajectories into a continuous‑time latent state, the method preserves standard likelihood inference while capturing complex, potentially cumulative effects without pre‑specifying functional forms. Simulations demonstrate accurate recovery of instantaneous and cumulative effects, and application to the 3C cohort uncovers BMI and fasting glucose trajectories linked to cognitive decline.
