Abstract

Estimating causal effects under network interference is challenging especially when edges are heterogeneous and nodes share latent dependencies. We study this realistic setting and propose MVDR, a targeted maximum likelihood (TMLE) framework that learns multi-view representations of covariates and exposure on heterogeneous networks while achieving double robustness: consistency holds if either the outcome model or the exposure density is correctly specified. MVDR supports multiple network interventions using only the observed network structure. On three semi-synthetic datasets, MVDR reduces intervention-level prediction error against baselines, and remains stable under misspecification.
