• Abstract: We study the problem of identifying the dynamics of a linear system when one has access to samples generated by a similar (but not identical) system, in addition to data from the true system. We use a weighted least squares approach and provide finite sample performance guarantees on the quality of the identified dynamics. Our results show that one can effectively use the auxiliary data generated by the similar system to reduce the estimation error due to the process noise, at the cost of adding a portion of error that is due to intrinsic differences in the models of the true and auxiliary systems. We also provide numerical experiments to validate our theoretical results. Our analysis can be applied to a variety of important settings. For example, if the system dynamics change at some point in time (e.g., due to a fault), how should one leverage data from the prior system in order to learn the dynamics of the new system? As another example, if there is abundant data available from a simulated (but imperfect) model of the true system, how should one weight that data compared to the real data from the system? Our analysis provides insights into the answers to these questions.

  Anomaly detection plays a fundamental role in various applications. It is challenging for existing methods to handle the scenarios where the instances are systems whose characteristics are not readily observed as data. We develop an end-to-end approach which includes an encoder-decoder module that learns system embeddings.

  We study a class of nonlinear dynamical systems whose state transitions depend linearly on a known feature embedding of state-action pairs. We propose an active learning approach that achieves this by repeating three steps: trajectory planning, trajectory tracking, and re-estimation of the system from all available data. We show that our method estimates nonlinear dynamical systems at a parametric rate, similar to the statistical rate of standard linear regression.

• A Kernel Two-sample Test for Dynamical Systems [7.198860143325813]
  evaluating whether data streams are drawn from the same distribution is at the heart of various machine learning problems. This is particularly relevant for data generated by dynamical systems since such systems are essential for many real-world processes in biomedical, economic, or engineering systems. We propose a two-sample test for dynamical systems by addressing three core challenges: we (i) introduce a novel notion of mixing that captures autocorrelations in a relevant metric, (ii) propose an efficient way to estimate the speed of mixing relying purely on data, and (iii) integrate these into established kernel two-sample tests.
