Sparse Nonlinear Dynamics Models with SINDy, Part 3: Effective Coordinates for Parsimonious Models

31.8K views on YouTube

This video discusses how to choose good coordinates for the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) algorithm. Specifically, we consider high dimensional and low dimensional measurements of a nonlinear dynamical system. For high dimensional systems, we recommend either the singular value decomposition (SVD), also known as principal component analysis (PCA), or a deep autoencoder neural network. For low dimensional data, we recommend time delay coordinates, which are connected to Koopman theory.
