Abstract: In this paper we propose a bilevel optimization approach for the placement of space and time observations in variational data assimilation problems. Within the framework of supervised learning, we consider a bilevel problem where the lower-level task is the variational reconstruction of the initial condition of a semilinear system, and the upper-level problem solves the optimal placement with help of a sparsity inducing function. Due to the pointwise nature of the observations, an optimality system with regular Borel measures is obtained as necessary optimality condition for the lower-level problem. The latter is then considered as constraint for the upper-level instance, yielding an optimization problem constrained by a multi-state system with measures. We demonstrate existence of Lagrange multipliers and derive a necessary optimality system characterizing the optimal solution of the bilevel problem. The numerical solution is carried out also on two levels. The lower-level problem is solved using a standard BFGS method, while the upper-level one is solved by means of a projected BFGS algorithm based on the estimation of $epsilon$-active sets. Finally some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the main features of our approach.
