چکیده
This paper introduces Gaussian Process Dynamical Models (GPDM) for nonlinear time series analysis. A GPDM comprises a low-dimensional latent space with associated dynamics, and a map from the latent space to an observation space. We marginalize out the model parameters in closed-form, which amounts to using Gaussian Process (GP) priors for both the dynamics and the observation mappings. This results in a nonparametric model for dynamical systems that accounts for uncertainty in the model. We demonstrate the approach on human motion capture data in which each pose is 62-dimensional. Despite the use of small data sets, the GPDM learns an effective representation of the nonlinear dynamics in these spaces. Webpage: http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/ jmwang/gpdm/

Coupling Gaussian Process Dynamical Models with Product-of-Experts Kernels
We describe a new probabilistic model for learning of coupled dynamical systems in latent state spaces. The coupling is achieved by combining predictions from several Gaussian process dynamical models in a product-of-experts fashion. Our approach facilitates modulation of coupling strengths without the need for computationally expensive re-learning of the dynamical models. We demonstrate the ef...
متن کاملThe Variational Coupled Gaussian Process Dynamical Model
We present a full variational treatment of the Coupled Gaussian Process Dynamical Model (CGPDM), which is a non-parametric, modular dynamical movement primitive model. Our work builds on similar developments in Gaussian state-space models, but we obviate the need for sampling, which results in a fast deterministic approximation for the posterior of latent states. We illustrate the performance o...
متن کاملGaussian Process Latent Variable Models for Dimensionality Reduction and Time Series Modeling
Time series data of high dimensions are frequently encountered in fields like robotics, computer vision, economics and motion capture. In this survey paper we look first at Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GPLVM) which is a probabilistic nonlinear dimensionality reduction method. Further we discuss Gaussian Process Dynamical Model (GPDMs) which are based GPLVM. GPDM is a probabilistic ap...

متن کاملExpectation Propagation in Gaussian Process Dynamical Systems
Rich and complex time-series data, such as those generated from engineering systems, financial markets, videos, or neural recordings are now a common feature of modern data analysis. Explaining the phenomena underlying these diverse data sets requires flexible and accurate models. In this paper, we promote Gaussian process dynamical systems as a rich model class that is appropriate for such an ...
