• Abstract: Time series subject to change in regime have attracted much interest in domains such as econometry, finance or meteorology. For discrete-valued regimes, some models such as the popular Hidden Markov Chain (HMC) describe time series whose state process is unknown at all time-steps. Sometimes, time series are firstly labelled thanks to some annotation function. Thus, another category of models handles the case with regimes observed at all time-steps. We present a novel model which addresses the intermediate case: (i) state processes associated to such time series are modelled by Partially Hidden Markov Chains (PHMCs); (ii) a linear autoregressive (LAR) model drives the dynamics of the time series, within each regime. We describe a variant of the expection maximization (EM) algorithm devoted to PHMC-LAR model learning. We propose a hidden state inference procedure and a forecasting function that take into account the observed states when existing. We assess inference and prediction performances, and analyze EM convergence times for the new model, using simulated data. We show the benefits of using partially observed states to decrease EM convergence times. A fully labelled scheme with unreliable labels also speeds up EM. This offers promising prospects to enhance PHMC-LAR model selection. We also point out the robustness of PHMC-LAR to labelling errors in inference task, when large training datasets and moderate labelling error rates are considered. Finally, we highlight the remarkable robustness to error labelling in the prediction task, over the whole range of error rates.

  This paper tackles the problem of learning effective models to reconstruct missing data points. We propose a class of attention-based architectures, that given a set of highly sparse observations, learn a representation for points in time and space. Compared to the state of the art, our model handles sparse data without propagating prediction errors or requiring a bidirectional model to encode forward and backward time dependencies.

  Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for hidden Markov models often rely on the forward-backward sampler. This makes them computationally slow as the length of the time series increases, motivating the development of sub-sampling-based approaches. We propose a targeted sub-sampling approach that over-samples observations corresponding to rare latent states when calculating the gradient of parameters associated with them.
