Abstract

The combination of observed data and dynamical models of mean-field type over networked systems is a challenging problem because of non-linearity, high dimensionality and partial observations. In many networked systems, the effective extraction and utilization of the information contained in observed data should be accomplished by exploiting the availability of accurate predictive, proactive tools of mean-field type dynamical systems. Incorporating observed big data into dynamical models of mean-field type has two problems. One is the curse of dimensionality, and the other is the control of error accumulation. This paper presents a distributed mean-field filter (DMF) framework for large scale networked systems. The proposed filter exploits the topology of the network and decomposes it into highly independent components with respect to the marginal mean-field correlations. The upper bound of global filtering error can be estimated using mean-field-type game theory. Numerical experiments in two object tracking scenarios are carried out to illustrate the performance of our algorithm. Evaluation results show that DMF significantly outperforms the existing filtering algorithms.
