Variational Augmented Invertible Koopman Autoencoder for probabilistic time series forecasting

Neural Koopman autoencoder models have been shown to successfully build a latent embedding with linear dynamics for arbitrary dynamical systems, enabling strong performance in long-term time series forecasting. However, these models usually work in a deterministic setting, which does not allow the quantification of the uncertainty of their predictions. Thus, we propose the new Variational Augmented Invertible Koopman AutoEncoder (VAIKAE), in which the latent embedding follows a Gaussian distribution instead of being deterministic. A key property of the VAIKAE architecture is that it leverages normalizing flow models, enabling the use of likelihood computations in the state space of dynamical systems for training a model. We further propose new strategies for uncertainty-aware latent data assimilation with a trained VAIKAE model. The effectiveness of our methods is demonstrated in a series of experiments on long-term time series forecasting benchmarks.

Neural Koopman prior for data assimilation

With the increasing availability of large scale datasets, computational power and tools like automatic differentiation and expressive neural network architectures, sequential data are now often treated in a data-driven way, with a dynamical model trained from the observation data. While neural networks are often seen as uninterpretable black-box architectures, they can still benefit from physical priors on the data and from mathematical knowledge. In this paper, we use a neural network architecture which leverages the long-known Koopman operator theory to embed dynamical systems in latent spaces where their dynamics can be described linearly, enabling a number of appealing features. We introduce methods that enable to train such a model for long-term continuous reconstruction, even in difficult contexts where the data comes in irregularly-sampled time series. The potential for self-supervised learning is also demonstrated, as we show the promising use of trained dynamical models as priors for variational data assimilation techniques, with applications to e.g. time series interpolation and forecasting.

Learning Sentinel-2 reflectance dynamics for data-driven assimilation and forecasting

Over the last few years, massive amounts of satellite multispectral and hyperspectral images covering the Earth's surface have been made publicly available for scientific purpose, for example through the European Copernicus project. Simultaneously, the development of self-supervised learning (SSL) methods has sparked great interest in the remote sensing community, enabling to learn latent representations from unlabeled data to help treating downstream tasks for which there is few annotated examples, such as interpolation, forecasting or unmixing. Following this line, we train a deep learning model inspired from the Koopman operator theory to model long-term reflectance dynamics in an unsupervised way. We show that this trained model, being differentiable, can be used as a prior for data assimilation in a straightforward way. Our datasets, which are composed of Sentinel-2 multispectral image time series, are publicly released with several levels of treatment.
