This paper presents a novel approach to find patterns in vehicle x-y-z acceleration data for use in prognostics and diagnostics. In this problem, vehicles are assumed to travel on the same routes and often times as a part of convoys but their GPS and other position information has been removed for privacy reasons. The goal of the pattern matching scheme is to identify the route or convoy associ...

This paper presents symbolic time series analysis (STSA) of multi-dimensional measurement data for pattern identification in dynamical systems. The proposed methodology is built upon concepts derived from Information Theory and Automata Theory. The objective is not merely to classify the time series patterns but also to identify the variations therein. To achieve this goal, a symbol alphabet is...

Discovering patterns and relationships in the stock market has been widely researched for many years. The goal of this work is to find hidden patterns within stock market price time series that may be exploited to yield greater than expected returns. A data mining approach provides the framework for this research. The data set is composed of weekly financial data for the stocks in two major sto...

This research proposes a pattern/shape-similarity-based clustering approach for time series prediction. This article uses single hidden Markov model (HMM) for clustering and combines it with soft computing techniques (fuzzy inference system/artificial neural network) for the prediction of time series. Instead of using distance function as an index of similarity, here shape/pattern of the sequen...

short-term traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation systems (its), especially for the traffic signal control and the transportation planning research. two mainly problems restrict the forecasting of urban freeway traffic parameters. one is the freeway traffic changes non-regularly under the heterogeneous traffic conditions, and the other is the success...

Nearest neighbor is pattern matching method for time series prediction in which most recent values of the time series are compared with previous available values and forecasting is achieved by finding the best match pattern (nearest neighbor). Usually Euclidean distance is used to check the similarity of pattern. In this paper two hybrid criteria of pattern matching are being proposed and evalu...

Predictability of financial time series (FTS) is a well-known dilemma. A typical approach to this problem is to apply a regression model, built on the historical data and then further extend it into the future. If however the goal is to support or even make investment decisions, regression-based FTS predictions are inappropriate as on top of being uncertain and unnecessarily complex, they requi...

In this paper, the model base and objects to be identified are classed as information granules by the information granulation idea. A proper system of polar coordinates is established. The fuzzy pattern recognition problem is studied by the L-series of formation in the abstract analytic number theory. A method is given to evaluate the model base type of the information granules, which consist o...

The goal of analyzing a time series database is to find whether and how frequent a periodic pattern is repeated within the series. Periodic pattern mining is the problem that regards temporal regularity. However, most of the existing algorithms have a major limitation in mining interesting patterns of users interest, that is, they can mine patterns of specific length with all the events sequent...

We study the use of feed-forward convolutional neural networks for the unsupervised problem of mining recurrent temporal patterns mixed in multivariate time series. Traditional convolutional autoencoders lack interpretability for two main reasons: the number of patterns corresponds to the manually-fixed number of convolution filters, and the patterns are often redundant and correlated. To recov...
