Exploiting Non-Negativity in DAG Structure Learning

ArXi:2605.19947v1 Announce Type: new This work addresses the problem of learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from nodal observations generated by a linear structural equation model. DAG learning is a central task in signal processing, machine learning, and causal inference, but it remains challenging because acyclicity is a global combinatorial property. Continuous acyclicity constraints have led to important algorithmic advances by replacing the discrete DAG constraint with smooth equality constraints.
