Dynamic Bayesian Network Auxiliary ABC-SMC for Hybrid Model Bayesian Inference to Accelerate Biomanufacturing Process Mechanism Learning and Robust Control

Abstract

Driven by the critical needs of biomanufacturing 4.0, we present a probabilistic knowledge graph hybrid model characterizing complex spatial-temporal causal interdependencies of underlying bioprocessing mechanisms. It can faithfully capture the important properties, including nonlinear reactions, partially observed state, and nonstationary dynamics. Given limited process observations, we derive a posterior distribution quantifying model uncertainty, which can facilitate mechanism learning and support robust process control. To avoid evaluation of intractable likelihood, Approximate Bayesian Computation sampling with Sequential Monte Carlo (ABC-SMC) is developed to approximate the posterior distribution. Given high stochastic and model uncertainties, it is computationally expensive to match process output trajectories. Therefore, we propose a linear Gaussian dynamic Bayesian network (LG-DBN) auxiliary likelihood-based ABC-SMC algorithm. Through matching observed and simulated summary statistics, the proposed approach can dramatically reduce the computation cost and accelerate the posterior approximation convergence.
