Revisiting semi-supervised training objectives for differentiable particle filters
Jiaxi Li, John-Joseph Brady, Xiongjie Chen, Yunpeng Li · 2024
Differentiable particle filters combine the flexibility of neural networks with the probabilistic nature of sequential Monte Carlo methods. However, traditional approaches rely on the availability of labelled data, i.e., the ground truth latent state information, which is often difficult to obtain in real-world applications. This paper compares the effectiveness of two semi-supervised training objectives for differentiable particle filters. We present results in two simulated environments where labelled data are scarce.
