Goal-Oriented Inference: Approach, Linear Theory, and Application to Advection Diffusion

Inference of model parameters is one step in an engineering process often ending in predictions that support decision in the form of design or control. Incorporation of end goals into the inference process leads to more efficient goal-oriented algorithms that automatically target the most relevant p...

description Inference of model parameters is one step in an engineering process often ending in predictions that support decision in the form of design or control. Incorporation of end goals into the inference process leads to more efficient goal-oriented algorithms that automatically target the most relevant parameters for prediction. In the linear setting the control-theoretic concepts underlying balanced truncation model reduction can be exploited in inference through a dimensionally optimal subspace regularizer. The inference-for-prediction method exactly replicates the prediction results of either truncated singular value decomposition, Tikhonov-regularized, or Gaussian statistical inverse problem formulations independent of data; it sacrifices accuracy in parameter estimate for online efficiency. The new method leads to low-dimensional parameterization of the inverse problem enabling solution on smartphones or laptops in the field.
