This repository contains the Python code to reproduce the results of the paper On the adaptation of recurrent neural networks for system identification by Marco Forgione, Aneri Muni, Dario Piga, and Marco Gallieri.
We introduce a transfer learning approach which enables fast and efficient adaptation of Recurrent Neural Network models.
A nominal RNN model is first identified using available measurements. The system dynamics are then assumed to change, leading to an unacceptable degradation of the nominal model performance on the perturbed system.
To cope with the mismatch, the model is augmented with an additive correction term trained on fresh data from the new dynamic regime. The correction term is learned through a Bayesian Linear Regression (BLR) method defined in terms of the features spanned by the nominal model's Jacobian with respect to its parameters.
A non-parametric view of the approach is also proposed, which extends the recent work on Gaussian Process with Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK-GP) discussed in [1] to the RNN case (RNTK-GP).
Finally, we introduce an approach to initialize the RNN state based on a context of past data, so that an estimate of the initial state is not needed on top of the parameter estimation.
