• Abstract summary: We developed a deep learning technique that successfully solves a non-linear dynamic control problem. We applied this technique to a crucial non-linear control problem that arises in the operation of the LIGO system. We also developed a computationally efficient model that can run in real time at high sampling rate on a single modern CPU core.

• Abstract: In this work we developed a deep learning technique that successfully solves a non-linear dynamic control problem. Instead of directly tackling the control problem, we combined methods in probabilistic neural networks and a Kalman-Filter-inspired model to build a non-linear state estimator for the system. We then used the estimated states to implement a trivial controller for the now fully observable system. We applied this technique to a crucial non-linear control problem that arises in the operation of the LIGO system, an interferometric gravitational-wave observatory. We demonstrated in simulation that our approach can learn from data to estimate the state of the system, allowing a successful control of the interferometer's mirror . We also developed a computationally efficient model that can run in real time at high sampling rate on a single modern CPU core, one of the key requirements for the implementation of our solution in the LIGO digital control system. We believe these techniques could be used to help tackle similar non-linear control problems in other applications.

  We propose a novel approach that incorporates the non-Markovian nature of the environment into a low-dimensional effective reservoir. We utilize machine learning techniques to learn the effective quantum dynamics more efficiently than traditional tomographic methods. This approach may not only mitigates the issues of model bias but also provides a more accurate representation of quantum dynamics.

  We combine nonlinear system control techniques with next-generation reservoir computing, a best-in-class machine learning approach for predicting the behavior of dynamical systems. We demonstrate the performance of the controller in a series of control tasks for the chaotic H'enon map. We show that our controller succeeds in these tasks, requires only 10 data points for training, can control the system to a desired trajectory in a single iteration, and is robust to noise and modeling error.

Our method is effective for two different visuomotor control tasks in simulation environments, including both top-down and egocentric view settings.
