The Unscented Kalman Filter
Author(s): Maxwell’s Demon Originally published on Towards AI. State estimation for a nonlinear system Every system that evolves with time has a state which is the set of quantities that describe it at a given moment. Examples are the position and velocity …
Demystifying the QR Decomposition
Author(s): Maxwell’s Demon Originally published on Towards AI. Demystifying the QR Decomposition We are privileged. Today, we can build machine learning models almost effortlessly: import an open-source linear algebra or machine learning toolbox, write a few lines of code using appropriate subroutines …
Kalman Filters Demystified — The Algorithm Behind Moon Landings
Author(s): Maxwell’s Demon Originally published on Towards AI. Kalman Filters Demystified — The Algorithm Behind Moon Landings Named after Rudolph Kalman, the Kalman filter is one of the most powerful algorithms in signal processing, control engineering, and machine learning. It remains widely …
The Complexity of Self-Driving Cars Explained Simply
Author(s): Maxwell’s Demon Originally published on Towards AI. Going beyond the hype with clarity Driving is hard. We operate heavy machines at high speed and must do so safely and correctly. With practice, we get better, but not perfect. Despite several innovations …
A Simple (But Not Too Simple) Intro to Linear Estimators
Author(s): Maxwell’s Demon Originally published on Towards AI. Optimally combining prior knowledge with new data Let’s start with an example. Say a lab technician knows from long-term experience that the lab’s temperature usually hovers around 20 °C. On a particular day, she …
