SINDy Implementation Notes

Github repo: https://github.com/mrtanke/SINDy This blog is basically my hands-on notes while implementing SINDy (Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics) as a small, understandable pipeline: generate data → build a candidate library → solve a sparse regression problem → sanity-check the discovered equation → then push it into harder settings like autoencoder and video-like data. The whole notebook is organized into three parts: (1) SINDy on ground-truth coordinates, (2) SINDy-Autoencoder, and (3) a bonus on high-dimensional “video” inputs. ...
