Control Theory meets Machine Learning
Control Theory: Introduction This blog focuses largely on emphasizing the importance of control theory and its application on complex systems through dimensionality reduction , machine learning , and dynamical systems modeling . First, I will cover a primer about control theory and its connectedness to the so-called ‘ Data science .’ The very purpose of an effective control system is its ability to manipulate its behaviour for a given engineering objective actively. The study and practice of manipulating dynamical systems (here, dynamical systems could mean anything from biological to financial models)are broadly known as control theory. It is one of the most successful fields combining the area of applied mathematics and practical engineering. Control theory is indivisible from data science , as it relies on sensor measurements (data) obtained from control systems to achieve a given objective. In fact, control theory deals with present data, as a successful ...
