Adaptive Variational Particle Filtering in Non-stationary Environments. (arXiv:1807.07612v1 [cs.LG])

Online convex optimization is a sequential prediction framework with the goal to track and adapt to the environment through evaluating proper convex loss functions. We study efficient particle filtering methods from the perspective of such a framework.

We formulate an efficient particle filtering methods for the non-stationary environment by making connections with the online mirror descent algorithm which is known to be a universal online convex optimization algorithm.

As a result of this connection, our proposed particle filtering algorithm proves to achieve optimal particle efficiency.
