The novel doubly robust causal effect estimator under networked interference proposes adapting targeted learning technique to train neural networks, generalizing it for networked interference settings and establishing conditions for double robustness. The designed end-to-end estimator is analyzed theoretically, showing a faster convergence rate than single nuisance models. Experimental results on two real-world networks with semisynthetic data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimators.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
A new way to estimate how things are connected in complex networks has been developed. This method helps reduce errors caused by incorrectly assuming certain patterns exist in the network. It uses a type of neural network and combines it with another technique called targeted learning. The result is an improved estimator that can accurately measure the connections between things in a network.
