Gaussian Process Latent Force Models for Learning and Stochastic Control of Physical Systems
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE 64(7):2953-2960, 2018.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with learning and stochastic control in
physical systems that contain unknown input signals. These unknown
signals are modeled as Gaussian processes (GP) with certain
parameterized covariance structures. The resulting latent force
models can be seen as hybrid models that contain a first-principle
physical model part and a nonparametric GP model part. We briefly
review the statistical inference and learning methods for this kind
of models, introduce stochastic control methodology for these
models, and provide new theoretical observability and
controllability results for them.
