Abstract:

Directed acyclic graph (DAG) learning plays a key role in causal discovery and many machine learning tasks. Learning a DAG from high-dimensional data always faces scalability problems. A local-to-global DAG learning approach can be scaled to high-dimensional data, however, existing local-to-global DAG learning algorithms employ either the AND-rule or the OR-rule for constructing a DAG skeleton. Simply using either rule, existing local-to-global methods may learn an inaccurate DAG skeleton, leading to unsatisfactory DAG learning performance. To tackle this problem, in this paper, we propose an Adaptive DAG Learning (ADL) algorithm. The novel contribution of ADL is that it can simultaneously and adaptively use the AND-rule and the OR-rule to construct an accurate global DAG skeleton. We conduct extensive experiments on both benchmark and real-world datasets, and the experimental results show that ADL is significantly better than some existing local-to-global and global DAG learning algorithms.
