Modelling structured dynamical systems: parametric and non-parametric approaches.

The aim of this project Modelling structured dynamical systems: parametric and non-parametric approaches is to realize synergies between different families of modelling and identification techniques for structured nonlinear dynamical systems, related to support vector machines and classical system identification techniques. Parametric and non-parametric approaches will be studied from these different perspectives. This project aims at achieving complementary and unifying insights with: - a better understanding of the impact of the intrinsic assumptions, e.g. how crucial is it to impose certain models structures in predictive modelling? - a better understanding of the strong and weak points of the different approaches: why is one approach successful on certain types of problems while it may totally fail on others? - proposing new methods that combine and integrate the best of different modelling paradigms - data driven detection of the dynamic structure of the nonlinear system
