Combining Slow and Fast: Complementary Filtering for Dynamics Learning

AAAI 2023technical

Modeling an unknown dynamical system is crucial in order to predict the future behavior of the system. A standard approach is training recurrent models on measurement data. While these models typically provide exact short-term predictions, accumulating errors yield deteriorated long-term behavior. I…

Learning interacting dynamical systems with latent Gaussian process ODEs

NeurIPS 2022accept

We study uncertainty-aware modeling of continuous-time dynamics of interacting objects. We introduce a new model that decomposes independent dynamics of single objects accurately from their interactions. By employing latent Gaussian process ordinary differential equations, our model infers both inde…

Safe Active Learning for Multi-Output Gaussian Processes

AISTATS 2022poster

Multi-output regression problems are commonly encountered in science and engineering. In particular, multi-output Gaussian processes have been emerged as a promising tool for modeling these complex systems since they can exploit the inherent correlations and provide reliable uncertainty estimates. I…

Learning Partially Known Stochastic Dynamics with Empirical PAC Bayes

AISTATS 2021poster

Neural Stochastic Differential Equations model a dynamical environment with neural nets assigned to their drift and diffusion terms. The high expressive power of their nonlinearity comes at the expense of instability in the identification of the large set of free parameters. This paper presents a re…

Beyond the Mean-Field: Structured Deep Gaussian Processes Improve the Predictive Uncertainties

NeurIPS 2020poster

Deep Gaussian Processes learn probabilistic data representations for supervised learning by cascading multiple Gaussian Processes. While this model family promises flexible predictive distributions, exact inference is not tractable. Approximate inference techniques trade off the ability to closely r…

Learning Gaussian Processes by Minimizing PAC-Bayesian Generalization Bounds

NeurIPS 2018poster

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are a generic modelling tool for supervised learning. While they have been successfully applied on large datasets, their use in safety-critical applications is hindered by the lack of good performance guarantees. To this end, we propose a method to learn GPs and their sparse…
