Phylogenetic networks and, more generally, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) represent hierarchical structure beyond trees, for instance in the presence of reticulate evolutionary events such as hybridization or horizontal gene transfer. A…

A least common ancestor (LCA) of two leaves in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a vertex that is an ancestor of both leaves and has no proper descendant that is also their common ancestor. LCAs capture hierarchical relationships in rooted…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are fundamental structures used across many scientific fields. A key concept in DAGs is the least common ancestor (LCA), which plays a crucial role in understanding hierarchical relationships. Surprisingly…

We explore the connections between clusters and least common ancestors (LCAs) in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), focusing on the interplay between so-called $I$-lca-relevant DAGs and DAGs with the $I$-lca-property. Here, $I$ denotes a set…

The AP-LCA problem asks, given an $n$-node directed acyclic graph (DAG), to compute for every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ in the DAG a lowest common ancestor (LCA) of $u$ and $v$ if one exists. In this paper we study several interesting…

We investigate the connections between clusters and least common ancestors (LCAs) in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). We focus on the class of DAGs having unique least common ancestors for certain subsets of their minimal elements since…

We present a novel perspective and algorithm for learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from data generated by a linear structural equation model (SEM). First, we show that a linear SEM can be viewed as a linear transform that, in prior…

The displayed tree phylogenetic network model is shown to sit as a natural submodel of the graphical model associated to a directed acyclic graph (DAG). This representation allows to derive a number of results about the displayed tree…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an $n$-vertex directed acyclic graph (DAG). A lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two vertices $u$ and $v$ is a common ancestor $w$ of $u$ and $v$ such that no descendant of $w$ has the same property. In this paper, we consider…

Phylogenetic networks provide a framework for representing evolutionary histories involving reticulate events such as hybridization or horizontal gene transfer. A central problem is to infer such networks from local structural information.…

The evolutionary relationships between species are typically represented in the biological literature by rooted phylogenetic trees. However, a tree fails to capture ancestral reticulate processes, such as the formation of hybrid species or…

Estimating the structure of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from observational data remains a significant challenge in machine learning. Most research in this area concentrates on learning a single DAG for the entire population. This paper…

We develop a novel convolutional architecture tailored for learning from data defined over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). DAGs can be used to model causal relationships among variables, but their nilpotent adjacency matrices pose unique…

The feed-forward relationship naturally observed in time-dependent processes and in a diverse number of real systems -such as some food-webs and electronic and neural wiring- can be described in terms of so-called directed acyclic graphs…

A DAG compression of a (typically dense) graph is a simple data structure that stores how vertex clusters are connected, where the clusters are described indirectly as sets of reachable sinks in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). They…

We introduce a novel class of labeled directed acyclic graph (LDAG) models for finite sets of discrete variables. LDAGs generalize earlier proposals for allowing local structures in the conditional probability distribution of a node, such…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are a class of graphs commonly used in practice, with examples that include electronic circuits, Bayesian networks, and neural architectures. While many effective encoders exist for DAGs, it remains…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) serve as crucial data representations in domains such as hardware synthesis and compiler/program optimization for computing systems. DAG generative models facilitate the creation of synthetic DAGs, which can…

In this paper, we propose a novel inference method for dynamic genetic networks which makes it possible to face with a number of time measurements n much smaller than the number of genes p. The approach is based on the concept of low order…

We study a generalization of the well-known model of broadcasting on trees. Consider a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with a unique source vertex $X$, and suppose all other vertices have indegree $d\geq 2$. Let the vertices at distance $k$…
