• Abstract: Differentiable particle filters are an emerging class of sequential Bayesian inference techniques that use neural networks to construct components in state space models. Existing approaches are mostly based on offline supervised training strategies. This leads to the delay of the model deployment and the obtained filters are susceptible to distribution shift of test-time data. In this paper, we propose an online learning framework for differentiable particle filters so that model parameters can be updated as data arrive. The technical constraint is that there is no known ground truth state information in the online inference setting. We address this by adopting an unsupervised loss to construct the online model updating procedure, which involves a sequence of filtering operations for online maximum likelihood-based parameter estimation. We empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and compare it with supervised learning methods in simulation settings including a multivariate linear Gaussian state-space model and a simulated object tracking experiment.

  We introduce a new method, StateMixNN, that uses a pair of neural networks to learn the proposal distribution and transition distribution of a particle filter. Our method is trained targeting the log-likelihood, thereby requiring only the observation series. The proposed method significantly improves recovery of the hidden state in comparison with the state-of-the-art, showing greater improvement in highly non-linear scenarios.

  Differentiable particle filters are an emerging class of models that combine sequential Monte Carlo techniques with the flexibility of neural networks to perform state space inference. No prior approaches effectively learn both the individual regimes and the switching process simultaneously. We propose the neural network based regime learning differentiable particle filter (RLPF) to address this problem.

  We propose an efficient online approximate Bayesian inference algorithm for estimating the parameters of a nonlinear function from a potentially non-stationary data stream. The method is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF), but uses a novel low-rank plus diagonal decomposition of the posterior matrix. In contrast to methods based on variational inference, our method is fully deterministic, and does not require step-size tuning.
