GCGAN：基于生成对抗网络的时间序列Granger因果关系发现
GCGAN: Time Series Granger Causality Discovery Based on Generative Adversarial Networks
摘要: Granger因果关系在时间序列建模中具有重要意义，但传统方法存在难以捕捉复杂非线性关系等诸多局限性。本文在相关工作的基础上提出GCGAN模型，首次将生成对抗网络应用于时间序列中的Granger因果关系发现。通过设计多头生成器的架构建模目标序列，在训练时对生成器施加稀疏诱导惩罚项，并在提取因果关系矩阵时引入阈值方法，GCGAN能够精准找寻高维时间序列中的复杂Granger因果关系。本研究为时间序列Granger因果关系发现提供了新的深度学习范式。
Abstract: Granger causality plays a significant role in time series modeling. However, traditional methods struggle with capturing complex nonlinear relationships among others limitations. Building on previous studies, this paper introduces the GCGAN model, marking the first application of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to Granger causality discovery in time series. By designing a multi-head generator architecture to model target sequences, imposing sparse inducing penalties on the generator during training, and introducing a threshold method when extracting the causality matrix, GCGAN can accurately identify complex Granger causalities in high-dimensional time series. This study provides a novel deep learning paradigm for the discovery of Granger causality in time series.
