Conditional Measurement Density Estimation in Sequential Monte Carlo via Normalizing Flow

2022-03-16 · Xiongjie Chen, Yunpeng Li

Tuning of measurement models is challenging in real-world applications of sequential Monte Carlo methods. Recent advances in differentiable particle filters have led to various efforts to learn measurement models through neural networks. But existing approaches in the differentiable particle filter framework do not admit valid probability densities in constructing measurement models, leading to incorrect quantification of the measurement uncertainty given state information. We propose to learn expressive and valid probability densities in measurement models through conditional normalizing flows, to capture the complex likelihood of measurements given states. We show that the proposed approach leads to improved estimation performance and faster training convergence in a visual tracking experiment.

Diffusion Path Samplers via Sequential Monte Carlo

2026-01-29 · James Matthew Young, Paula Cordero-Encinar, Sebastian Reich, Andrew Duncan 외 arxiv

We develop diffusion-based samplers for target distributions known up to a normalising constant. To this end, we rely on the well-known diffusion path that smoothly interpolates between a simple base distribution and the…
