Featurizing Koopman Mode Decomposition

This article introduces an advanced Koopman mode decomposition (KMD) technique -- coined Featurized Koopman Mode Decomposition (FKMD) -- that uses time embedding and Mahalanobis scaling to enhance analysis and prediction of high dimensional dynamical systems. The time embedding expands the observation space to better capture underlying manifold structure, while the Mahalanobis scaling, applied to kernel or random Fourier features, adjusts observations based on the system's dynamics. This aids in featurizing KMD in cases where good features are not a priori known. We show that our method improves KMD predictions for a high dimensional Lorenz attractor and for a cell signaling problem from cancer research.
