Thursday 08 Nov 2018: Learning from Temporal Data Through Learning in the Space of Dynamical Systems

In learning from "static" data (order of data presentation does not carry any useful information), one framework for dealing with such data is to transform the input items non-linearly into a feature space (usually high-dimensional), that is "rich" enough, so that linear techniques are sufficient. However, data such as EEG signals, or biological sequences naturally comes with a sequential structure. I will present a general dynamical state space model that effectively acts as a dynamical feature space for representing temporally ordered samples. I will then outline a framework for learning on sets of sequential data by building kernels based such dynamical filters. The methodology will be demonstrated in a series of sequence classification tasks and in an incremental temporal "regime" detection task.
