• Title: Task-Synchronized Recurrent Neural Networks
• Authors: Mantas Lukoševičius, Arnas Uselis,
• Abstract summary: Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) traditionally involve ignoring the fact, feeding the time differences as additional inputs, or resampling the data. We propose an elegant straightforward alternative approach where instead the RNN is in effect resampled in time to match the time of the data or the task at hand. We confirm empirically that our models can effectively compensate for the time-non-uniformity of the data and demonstrate that they compare favorably to data resampling, classical RNN methods, and alternative RNN models.

• Abstract: Data are often sampled irregularly in time. Dealing with this using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) traditionally involved ignoring the fact, feeding the time differences as additional inputs, or resampling the data. All these methods have their shortcomings. We propose an elegant straightforward alternative approach where instead the RNN is in effect resampled in time to match the time of the data or the task at hand. We use Echo State Network (ESN) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) as the basis for our solution. Such RNNs can be seen as discretizations of continuous-time dynamical systems, which gives a solid theoretical ground to our approach. Our Task-Synchronized ESN (TSESN) and GRU (TSGRU) models allow for a direct model time setting and require no additional training, parameter tuning, or computation (solving differential equations or interpolating data) compared to their regular counterparts, thus retaining their original efficiency. We confirm empirically that our models can effectively compensate for the time-non-uniformity of the data and demonstrate that they compare favorably to data resampling, classical RNN methods, and alternative RNN models proposed to deal with time irregularities on several real-world nonuniform-time datasets. We open-source the code at https://github.com/oshapio/task-synchronized-RNNs .

  Irregularly sampled time series are ubiquitous in several application domains, leading to sparse, not fully-observed and non-aligned observations. Standard sequential neural networks (RNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) consider regular spacing between observation times, posing significant challenges to irregular time series modeling. We parameterize convolutional layers by employing time-explicitly irregular kernels.

  Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with continuous-time hidden states are a natural fit for modeling irregularly-sampled time series. We prove that similar to standard RNNs, the underlying reason for this issue is the vanishing or exploding of the gradient during training. We provide a solution by designing a new algorithm based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) that separates its memory from its time-continuous state.
