Sparse Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (S-DEIM) is used for state estimation in dynamical systems with sparse observations.
An equation-free S-DEIM framework is introduced that utilizes recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to estimate the optimal kernel vector from sparse observational time-series data.
RNNs incorporate past observations to improve estimations as the optimal kernel vector cannot be estimated from instantaneous data.
The method's efficacy is demonstrated on atmospheric flow, Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and Rayleigh-Benard convection, showing satisfactory results with a simple RNN architecture.
