State Space Representation

State Space Representation

The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Area of Science:

Artificial Intelligence
Human Activity Recognition
Bayesian Inference

Background:

Computational state space models (CSSMs) offer knowledge-based Bayesian filters for recognizing human intentions and activities in smart environments.
Algorithmic representations enable complex human behavior models, but symbolic models risk combinatorial explosion, limiting inference in real-world applications.
This study investigated the feasibility of CSSM-based inference in domains of realistic complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility of Computational State Space Model (CSSM)-based inference in complex, realistic human activity recognition domains.
To compare the performance of CSSMs against established training-based methods like Hidden Markov Models (HMMs).
To analyze the impact of modeling factors on CSSM performance.

Main Methods:

Utilized wearable inertial measurement units as the primary sensor modality for a real-world instrumental activity of daily living scenario.
Compared CSSM inference results against Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) using Wilcoxon signed rank tests.
Analyzed the influence of various modeling factors on CSSM performance through repeated measures analysis of variance.

Main Results:

The symbolic domain model comprised over 10^8 states, significantly exceeding previous research complexity.
CSSMs, with optimized inference procedures, outperformed HMMs.
Marginal filtering demonstrated superior performance compared to particle filters, a common inference method in prior CSSM studies.

Conclusions:

Complex CSSM models do not necessarily lead to intractable inference or reduced performance.
The advantages of CSSMs, including knowledge-based construction and reusability, are achievable without compromising performance.
Future CSSM research must utilize sufficiently complex domains to understand design choices' impact on inference performance.
