论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
We examine data-processing of Markov chains through the lens of information geometry. We first establish a theory of congruent Markov morphisms within the framework of stochastic matrices. Specifically, we introduce and justify the concept of a linear right inverse (congruent embedding) for lumping, a well-known operation used in Markov chains to extract coarse information. Furthermore, we inspect information projections onto geodesically convex sets of stochastic matrices, and show that under some conditions, projecting (m-projection) onto doubly convex submanifolds can be regarded as a form of data-processing. Finally, we show that the family of lumpable stochastic matrices can be meaningfully endowed with the structure of a foliated manifold and motivate our construction in the context of embedded models and inference.
