Differentiable Particle Filtering using Optimal Placement Resampling
Particle filters are a frequent choice for inference tasks in nonlinear and non-Gaussian state-space models. They can either be used for state inference by approximating the filtering distribution or for parameter inference by approximating the marginal data (observation) likelihood. A good proposal distribution and a good resampling scheme are crucial to obtain low variance estimates. However, traditional methods like multinomial resampling introduce nondifferentiability in PF-based loss functions for parameter estimation, prohibiting gradient-based learning tasks. This work proposes a differentiable resampling scheme by deterministic sampling from an empirical cumulative distribution function. We evaluate our method on parameter inference tasks and proposal learning.

Differentiable Particle Filtering via Entropy-Regularized Optimal Transport
Particle Filtering (PF) methods are an established class of procedures for performing inference in non-linear state-space models. Resampling is a key ingredient of PF, necessary to obtain low variance likelihood and stat…

This paper is concerned with differentiable resampling in the context of sequential Monte Carlo (e.g., particle filtering). Drawing on reparametrisation, we propose a new resampling method that is informative and instant…
PyDPF: A Python Package for Differentiable Particle Filtering
State-space models (SSMs) are a widely used tool in time series analysis. In the complex systems that arise from real-world data, it is common to employ particle filtering (PF), an efficient Monte Carlo method for estima…

We propose a method for optimal Bayesian filtering with deterministic particles. In order to avoid particle degeneration, the filter step is not performed at once. Instead, the particles progressively flow from prior to …
