• Authors: Yuhui Wang, Diane J. Cook
• Abstract summary: Time series data are valuable but are often inscrutable. Gaining trust in time series classifiers for finance, healthcare, and other critical applications may rely on creating interpretable models. We propose a novel Mimic algorithm that retains the predictive accuracy of the strongest classifiers while introducing interpretability.

• Abstract: Time series data are valuable but are often inscrutable. Gaining trust in time series classifiers for finance, healthcare, and other critical applications may rely on creating interpretable models. Researchers have previously been forced to decide between interpretable methods that lack predictive power and deep learning methods that lack transparency. In this paper, we propose a novel Mimic algorithm that retains the predictive accuracy of the strongest classifiers while introducing interpretability. Mimic mirrors the learning method of an existing multivariate time series classifier while simultaneously producing a visual representation that enhances user understanding of the learned model. Experiments on 26 time series datasets support Mimic's ability to imitate a variety of time series classifiers visually and accurately.

  We propose InstructTime, a novel attempt to reshape time series classification as a learning-to-generate paradigm. The core idea is to formulate the classification of time series as a multimodal understanding task, in which both task-specific instructions and raw time series are treated as multimodal inputs. Extensive experiments are conducted over benchmark datasets, whose results uncover the superior performance of InstructTime.

  A key component of contrastive learning is to select appropriate augmentations imposing some priors to construct feasible positive samples. How to find the desired augmentations of time series data that are meaningful for given contrastive learning tasks and datasets remains an open question. We propose a new contrastive learning approach with information-aware augmentations, InfoTS, that adaptively selects optimal augmentations for time series representation learning.

The TimeMAE learns enriched contextual representations of time series with a bidirectional encoding scheme.

  We propose a novel framework named Ti-MAE, in which the input time series are assumed to follow an integrate distribution. Ti-MAE randomly masks out embedded time series data and learns an autoencoder to reconstruct them at the point-level. Experiments on several public real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework of masked autoencoding could learn strong representations directly from the raw data.
