Abstract
En 中文
Causal discovery is central to human cognition, and learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is its foundation. Recently, many nature-inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed to serve as the basis for DAG learning. However, a single meta-heuristic algorithm requires specific domain knowledge and empirical parameter tuning and cannot guarantee good performance in all cases. Hyper-heuristics provide an alternative methodology to meta-heuristics, enabling multiple heuristic algorithms to be combined and optimized to achieve better generalization ability. In this paper, we propose a multi-population choice function hyper-heuristic to discover the causal relationships encoded in a DAG. This algorithm provides a reasonable solution for combining structural priors or possible expert knowledge with swarm intelligence. Under a linear structural equation model (SEM), we first identify the partial v-structures through partial correlation analysis as the structural priors of the next nature-inspired swarm intelligence approach. Then, through partial correlation analysis, we can limit the search space. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods compared to the earlier state-of-the-art methods on six standard networks.
