Collective relational inference for learning heterogeneous interactions.

ABSTRACT: Interacting systems are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, ranging from particle dynamics in physics to functionally connected brain regions. Revealing interaction laws is of fundamental importance but also particularly challenging due to underlying configurational complexities. These challenges become exacerbated for heterogeneous systems that are prevalent in reality, where multiple interaction types coexist simultaneously and relational inference is required. Here, we propose a probabilistic method for relational inference, which possesses two distinctive characteristics compared to existing methods. First, it infers the interaction types of different edges collectively by explicitly encoding the correlation among incoming interactions with a joint distribution, and second, it allows
