• Abstract summary: We present an approach that uses a deep learning model, in particular, a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) for estimating the missing values of a variable. We focus on filling a long continuous gap rather than filling individual randomly missing observations. Our approach enables the use of datasets that have a large gap in one variable, which is common in many long-term environmental monitoring observations.

• Abstract: We present an approach that uses a deep learning model, in particular, a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP), for estimating the missing values of a variable in multivariate time series data. We focus on filling a long continuous gap (e.g., multiple months of missing daily observations) rather than on individual randomly missing observations. Our proposed gap filling algorithm uses an automated method for determining the optimal MLP model architecture, thus allowing for optimal prediction performance for the given time series. We tested our approach by filling gaps of various lengths (three months to three years) in three environmental datasets with different time series characteristics, namely daily groundwater levels, daily soil moisture, and hourly Net Ecosystem Exchange. We compared the accuracy of the gap-filled values obtained with our approach to the widely-used R-based time series gap filling methods ImputeTS and mtsdi. The results indicate that using an MLP for filling a large gap leads to better results, especially when the data behave nonlinearly. Thus, our approach enables the use of datasets that have a large gap in one variable, which is common in many long-term environmental monitoring observations.

  We propose Multi Scale Dilated Convolution Network (MSDCN) to capture the period and trend characteristics of long time series. We design different convolution blocks with exponentially growing dilations and varying kernel sizes to sample time series data at different scales.

  Time series forecasting has been a widely explored task of great importance in many applications. It is common that real-world time series data are recorded in a short time period, which results in a big gap between the deep model and the limited and noisy time series. We propose to address the time series forecasting problem with generative modeling and propose a bidirectional variational auto-encoder equipped with diffusion, denoise, and disentanglement.

  In this work, we argue that shallow features suffice when combined with distribution distance measures. Our approach models each time series as a high dimensional empirical distribution of features, where each time-point constitutes a single sample. We show that by parameterizing each time series using cumulative Radon features, we are able to efficiently and effectively model the distribution of normal time series.
