Discusses current limitations, such as sparsity in hypergraphs and the current focus on deletion operations, and outlines promising future research directions.

Deletion Only Current interventions limited to removal of incidences/hyperedges
Node Classification Primary focus, with future work on graph-level tasks

Addressing Sparse Hypergraphs

For very sparse hypergraphs, especially with the NHP variant, exhaustively enumerating incident node-hyperedge combinations might be more efficient than gradient-based optimization due to the small search space. However, the HP variant, operating on hyperedges, typically generates a larger search space, benefiting more from gradient-based methods. This highlights the trade-off between granularity of perturbation and search space complexity. Future work involves expanding interventions beyond deletions to include additions and feature perturbations.
