There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE
Learning the Koopman Operator for Dynamic Data
ABSTRACT
Recent work in the study of dynamic systems has focussed on data-driven decomposition techniques that approximate the action of the Koopman operator on observable functions of the underlying phenomena.
In particular, the data-driven method of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) has been explored, with multiple variants of the algorithm in existence, including extended DMD, DMD in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, a Bayesian framework, a variant for stochastic dynamical systems, and a variant that uses deep neural networks.
In this talk, I shall briefly summarize the large existing work on data-driven learning of Koopman operator models, and then describe new sampling-based sketching approaches (SketchyCoreSVD, SketchyCoreTucker) together with matrix-valued Kernels, to achieve accelerated Koopman operator approximations of dynamic observable data. Examples are drawn from remote sensing and FTIR hyperspectral tensor images, bio-medical cardiac magnetic resonance video, and time series reactive flow simulations of a single ejector combustion process.
