One Intervention per Component is Enough: Towards Identifiability in Linear Stochastic Dynamics from Steady State

The paper investigates how to recover the parameters of a multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process using only steady-state observational and interventional data. It proves that a single intervention per strongly connected component of the drift graph is sufficient to identify all parameters generically, up to a global scaling factor, provided the SCC condensation graph is connected with a single root and certain spectral conditions hold. A recursive learning algorithm and a regularized least-squares estimator are proposed, and experiments confirm the theoretical results.

Disentangling Continuous-Time Latent Dynamics: Identifiability of Latent SDEs via Diffusion Shifts

arXiv:2606. 28228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal representation learning for time series has developed strong identifiability results in discrete-time latent causal models, but identifiability in continuous-time latent stochastic differential equation (SDE) models remains largely open.

On the Nonasymptotic Scaling Guarantee of Hyperparameter Estimation in Inhomogeneous, Weakly-Dependent Complex Network Dynamical Systems

The paper develops a nonasymptotic theoretical framework for estimating hyperparameters in hierarchical Bayesian models applied to large, inhomogeneous complex network dynamical systems. It provides bounds on the deviation of hyperparameter estimates as network size grows, first for independent nodes and then extending to weakly‑dependent nodes, and validates these results with numerical experiments on SIS and spiking neuronal network models.

CRNDiff: Count-Native Diffusion Framework via Chemical Reaction Networks

CRNDiff is a new count‑native diffusion framework that uses stochastic chemical reaction networks to model nonnegative integer data such as single‑cell RNA sequencing. It provides a closed‑form forward‑noising kernel, enabling efficient reverse sampling via forward‑filtering backward‑sampling and data‑driven selection of the terminal noising time. The method also introduces tilted Feynman–Kac steering to sample rare subpopulations without retraining, and demonstrates superior conditional fidelity and marker‑level preservation on human heart scRNA‑seq data.
