Researchers have developed a massively parallel algorithm for estimating multivariate Hawkes processes, a class of self-exciting point processes. Their method leverages sparse transition matrices and parallel prefix scans to achieve a computational complexity of approximately O(N/P) with P processors, significantly speeding up calculations. This approach computes the exact likelihood without approximations and has demonstrated orders-of-magnitude speedups on large datasets, with an open-source PyTorch library available. AI
