state of a system given complicated dynamics and noisy observations. Some approaches to …

Finite-dimensional filters with nonlinear drift. II: Brockett's problem on classification of finite-dimensional estimation algebras

WL Chiou, SST Yau - SIAM journal on control and optimization, 1994 - SIAM
The idea of using estimation algebras to construct finite-dimensional nonlinear filters was
first proposed by Brockett and Mitter independently. It turns out that the concept of estimation …

Recurrent neural networks are universal approximators with stochastic inputs

X Chen, Y Tao, W Xu, SST Yau - IEEE Transactions on Neural …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
