The proposed method integrates conditional particle filtering with ancestral sampling and diffusion models to generate realistic trajectories that align with observed data. This approach combines a smoother based on iterating a conditional particle filter with ancestral sampling to first generate plausible trajectories matching observed marginals, and learns the corresponding diffusion model. The method provides both a generative method for high-quality, smoothed trajectories under complex constraints, and an efficient approximation of the particle smoothing distribution for classical tracking problems.

The paper introduces a new approach that helps machine learning models learn dynamical systems from sparse observations. This is important in fields like biology, finance, and physics where scientists need to make predictions about how things will change over time. The method uses a combination of techniques called conditional particle filtering, ancestral sampling, and diffusion models to generate realistic paths that match what we see. It also helps with tasks like tracking vehicles or analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data.
