Abstract
The unscented Kalman filter (originally developed at the Cambridge signal processing lab) is a fast approximate filter for non-linear dynamical systems. It is reasonably accurate if the dynamics and observation model are nearly linear. For some models however, we can show that the unscented Kalman filter provably breaks down. To be more precise, for models where the observation model is such that state and observation are uncorrelated (but still dependent) the unscented Kalman filter does not update the state estimate at all after a new observation. We propose quadrature EP, a very general approximate inference technique that is based on expectation propagation and Gaussian quadrature. The special case of filtering in non-linear dynamical systems can be referred to as a one-step unscented Kalman filter. It is just as fast as the unscented Kalman filter, yet significantly more accurate, in particular in the problematic model class described above.
