RobustLDS: Learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial corruptions

We consider the problem of learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial contamination from a single trajectory of length $T$.

Key points

  • While identification of linear dynamical systems itself is well-studied, the problem of robust system identification under adversarial contamination is relatively less explored.
  • In this work, we study the setting where a fraction of the $T$ observations are contaminated by adversarial outliers.
  • We propose different estimators based on relaxations of least-trimmed squares along with an alternating minimization algorithm.
  • For the estimator with group-sparse penalty, we derive non-asymptotic error bounds which establish its robustness to outliers.
