ABSTRACT

In many ecological, biological, and social networks, the system dynamics is shaped not only by pairwise couplings but also by higher-order interactions which involve multiple agents simultaneously. However, identifying such higher-order interactions from time-series data remains a significant challenge. In this letter, we propose a novel framework for identifying hypergraph structures using hypergraph physics-informed neural network (HyperPINN). We model the hypergraph dynamics using continuous-time nonlinear differential equations that incorporate both pairwise and higher-order terms. By embedding the governing dynamics into the loss function of neural networks, HyperPINN jointly estimates the state trajectories and infers the unknown hypergraph structure directly from observed time-series data. Numerical experiments on coupled Rössler oscillators and Lotka-Volterra dynamics demonstrate that HyperPINN reliably uncovers hypergraph structures even under noise and limited data, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
