Data-driven Non-linear State Estimation for Model-free Processes in Unsupervised Learning

Q: What are the potential limitations of the DANSE approach, and under what conditions might it underperform compared to model-driven or hybrid methods

One potential limitation of the DANSE approach is its reliance on the accuracy and representativeness of the training dataset. If the dataset does not adequately capture the variability and complexity of the underlying process, DANSE may struggle to generalize well to unseen data. This limitation can lead to suboptimal performance compared to model-driven methods that have a more structured understanding of the process dynamics. Additionally, DANSE's performance may degrade in scenarios where the process exhibits highly non-linear behavior that is not effectively captured by the data-driven approach alone. In such cases, model-driven or hybrid methods that incorporate domain knowledge may outperform DANSE.

Q: How can the DANSE framework be extended to handle non-linear measurement systems, or to incorporate additional prior knowledge about the process dynamics, if available

To extend the DANSE framework to handle non-linear measurement systems, one approach could involve incorporating non-linear transformations or mappings within the RNN architecture. By allowing the RNN to learn complex non-linear relationships between the measurements and the state, DANSE can adapt to non-linear measurement systems. Additionally, if additional prior knowledge about the process dynamics is available, it can be integrated into the training process as constraints or regularization terms. This prior knowledge can guide the learning process and help improve the accuracy of the state estimation.

Q: Can the DANSE approach be adapted to handle time-varying or partially-known measurement systems, and how would that affect the training and inference procedures

Adapting the DANSE approach to handle time-varying or partially-known measurement systems would require modifications to the training and inference procedures. For time-varying systems, the RNN architecture can be designed to incorporate temporal dependencies and adapt to changing dynamics over time. By updating the RNN parameters dynamically, DANSE can effectively handle time-varying measurement systems. In the case of partially-known measurement systems, DANSE can be augmented with additional modules or networks that specifically model the known aspects of the system. This hybrid approach would involve integrating the known information into the training process and adjusting the inference procedure to account for the partial knowledge available.

DANSE provides a closed-form posterior of the state of a model-free process, given linear measurements, without requiring knowledge of the process dynamics or supervised learning.

Samenvatting

The article proposes DANSE, a Data-driven Nonlinear State Estimation method, to address Bayesian state estimation and forecasting for a model-free process in an unsupervised learning setup.

Key highlights:

DANSE does not require any a-priori knowledge of the process dynamics or the state space model. It is designed for complex, model-free processes.
DANSE uses a data-driven recurrent neural network (RNN) to provide the parameters of a prior distribution of the state, which depends on past measurements.
The closed-form posterior of the state is then computed using the current measurement and the RNN-based prior.
DANSE is trained in an unsupervised manner using only a dataset of noisy measurement trajectories, without access to the true state trajectories.
Experiments on linear and nonlinear process models (Lorenz attractor, Chen attractor) show that DANSE provides competitive performance against model-driven methods like Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, as well as data-driven methods like deep Markov model and hybrid methods like KalmanNet.
DANSE is also shown to work for high-dimensional state estimation tasks.
