Learning Comprehensible Descriptions of Multivariate Time Series
نویسنده
چکیده
Supervised classiication is one of the most active areas of machine learning research. Most work has focused on classiication in static domains, where an instantaneous snapshot of attributes is meaningful. In many domains, attributes are not static; in fact, it is the way they vary temporally that can make classiication possible. Examples of such domains include speech recognition, gesture recognition and electrocardiograph clas-siication. While it is possible to use ad hoc, domain-speciic techniques for \\atten-ing" the time series to a learner-friendly representation , this fails to take into account both the special problems and special heuris-tics applicable to temporal data and often results in unreadable concept descriptions. Though traditional time series techniques can sometimes produce accurate classiiers, few can provide comprehensible descriptions. We propose a general architecture for classiica-tion and description of multivariate time series. It employs event primitives to analyse the training data and extract events. These events are clustered, creating proto-typical events which are used as the basis for creating more accurate and comprehensi-ble classiiers. A minimal implementation of this architecture, called TClass, is applied to two domains, one real and one artiicial and compared against a na ve approach. TClass shows great promise, particularly in compre-hensibility, but also in accuracy.

متن کاملMissing data imputation in multivariable time series data
Multivariate time series data are found in a variety of fields such as bioinformatics, biology, genetics, astronomy, geography and finance. Many time series datasets contain missing data. Multivariate time series missing data imputation is a challenging topic and needs to be carefully considered before learning or predicting time series. Frequent researches have been done on the use of diffe...
متن کاملConstructive Induction for Classifying Time Series
We present a method of constructive induction aimed at learning tasks involving multivariate time series data. Using metafeatures, the scope of attribute-value learning is expanded to domains that contain instances that have some kind of recurring substructure, such as strokes in handwriting recognition, or local maxima in time series data. These substructures are used to construct attributes. ...
متن کاملTemporal Classification: Extending the Classification Paradigm to Multivariate Time Series
Machine learning research has, to a great extent, ignored an important aspect of many real world applications: time. Existing concept learners predominantly operate on a static set of attributes; for example, classifying flowers described by leaf size, petal colour and petal count. The values of these attributes is assumed to be unchanging – the flower never grows or loses leaves. However, many...
