New research explores Bayesian deep learning for discrete choice models

Two recent arXiv papers explore advanced neural network architectures for discrete choice models, aiming to improve accuracy and interpretability. The first paper introduces an amortized inference approach using an equivariant neural network to handle correlated errors and provide rapid likelihood evaluation, showing gains over traditional simulators. The second paper proposes a Bayesian deep learning model that integrates with approximate Bayesian inference, offering better predictive performance than traditional models while retaining interpretability and uncertainty quantification.

    Bayesian Deep Learning for Discrete Choice

    arXiv:2505.18077v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete choice models (DCMs) are used to analyze individual decision-making in contexts such as transportation choices, political elections, and consumer preferences. DCMs play a central role in applied econometrics by enabling…
