Recent work has examined this problem in networks whose relationships involve precisely two entities-the pairwise case. Here we investigate the general problem of reconstructing a network in which higher-order interactions are also present. We study a minimal example of this problem, focusing on the case of hypergraphs with interactions between pairs and triplets of vertices, measured imperfectly and indirectly. We derive a Metropolis-Hastings-within-Gibbs algorithm for this model and use the algorithms to highlight the unique challenges that come with estimating higher-order models. We show that this approach tends to reconstruct empirical and synthetic networks more accurately than an equivalent graph model without higher-order interactions.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.06503v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.06503v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"hypergraph-reconstruction-from-noisy-pairwise","repo_url":"https://github.com/dynamicalab/hypergraph-bayesian-reconstruction","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
