"Conditional Particle Filters with Bridge Backward Sampling" by Santeri Karppinen, Sumeetpal S. Singh et al.

Conditional particle filters (CPFs) with backward/ancestor sampling are powerful methods for sampling from the posterior distribution of the latent states of a dynamic model such as a hidden Markov model. However, the performance of these methods deteriorates with models involving weakly informative observations and/or slowly mixing dynamics. Both of these complications arise when sampling finely time-discretized continuous-time path integral models, but can occur with hidden Markov models too. Multinomial resampling, which is commonly employed with CPFs, resamples excessively for weakly informative observations and thereby introduces extra variance. Furthermore, slowly mixing dynamics render the backward/ancestor sampling steps ineffective, leading to degeneracy issues. We detail two conditional resampling strategies suitable for the weakly informative regime: the so-called “killing” resampling and the systematic resampling with mean partial order. To avoid the degeneracy issues, ....

"Flexible and Robust Particle Tempering for State Space Models" by David Gunawan, Robert Kohn et al.

Density tempering (also called density annealing) is a sequential Monte Carlo approach to Bayesian inference for general state models which is an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo. When applied to state space models, it moves a collection of parameters and latent states (which are called particles) through a number of stages, with each stage having its own target distribution. The particles are initially generated from a distribution that is easy to sample from, e.g. the prior; the target at the final stage is the posterior distribution. Tempering is usually carried out either in batch mode, involving all the data at each stage, or sequentially with observations added at each stage, which is called data tempering. Efficient Markov moves for generating the parameters and states for each stage of particle based density tempering are proposed. This allows the proposed SMC methods to increase (scale up) the number of parameters and states that can be handled. Most current methods use ....
