• Abstract: Deep learning has become a one-size-fits-all solution for technical and business domains thanks to its flexibility and adaptability. It is implemented using opaque models, which unfortunately undermines the outcome trustworthiness. In order to have a better understanding of the behavior of a system, particularly one driven by time series, a look inside a deep learning model so-called posthoc eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approaches, is important. There are two major types of XAI for time series data, namely model-agnostic and model-specific. Model-specific approach is considered in this work. While other approaches employ either Class Activation Mapping (CAM) or Attention Mechanism, we merge the two strategies into a single system, simply called the Temporally Weighted Spatiotemporal Explainable Neural Network for Multivariate Time Series (TSEM). TSEM combines the capabilities of RNN and CNN models in such a way that RNN hidden units are employed as attention weights for the CNN feature maps temporal axis. The result shows that TSEM outperforms XCM. It is similar to STAM in terms of accuracy, while also satisfying a number of interpretability criteria, including causality, fidelity, and spatiotemporality.

  We show that time series with different time granularities (or corresponding frequency resolutions) exhibit distinct joint distributions in the frequency domain. A novel Fourier knowledge attention mechanism is proposed to enable learning time-aware representations from both the temporal and frequency domains. An autoregressive blank infilling pre-training framework is incorporated to time series analysis for the first time, leading to a generative tasks agnostic pre-training strategy.

  This paper proposes a novel modular neural network model for time series prediction that is interpretable by construction. A recurrent neural network learns the temporal dependencies in the data while an attention-based feature selection component selects the most relevant features. A modular deep network is trained from the selected features independently to show the users how features influence outcomes, making the model interpretable.
