Nonlinear filter and deep learning
As an important branch of control theory, nonlinear filtering refers to the estimation or filtering out of noise from a system where the underlying system dynamics are nonlinear. These problems arise in various fields, such as signal processing, robotics, and economics. The nonlinear property originating from the system makes it difficult to apply traditional linear filtering techniques such as the Kalman filter and its variants, particle filter, etc.
This course will focus on the mathematical foundation and algorithms to handle nonlinear filtering. In the 1983 International Congress of Mathematics, Brockett proposed the classification problem for finite-dimensional filters. We shall first introduce the so-called Brockett-Mitter program by applying geometric methods, e.g., Lie algebra. Later, we shall concentrate on the well-known Yau-Yau filter to introduce the theory and the corresponding developed numerical algorithms. Finally, combined with recent popular deep learning techniques, some novel filtering algorithms to deal with infinite-dimensional filters will be introduced.
After completing the course, participants will be familiar with important mathematical tools and their applications in nonlinear filtering. This course will also contain many cutting-edge academic results from the lecturer himself.
