Abstract: Highlights•We propose a Temporal Latent Variable Structural Causal Model for causal discovery with external interferences.•We use a Hadamard product of adjacency and weight matrices to constrain model complexity.•We estimate the model using variational inference, integrating expert knowledge as a prior.
