• Authors: Christina Pacher, Irene Schicker, Rosmarie deWit, Katerina Hlavackova-Schindler, Claudia Plant
• Abstract summary: AWT is a clustering algorithm for time series data that also performs implicit outlier detection during the clustering. We apply AWT to crowd sourced 2-m temperature data with an hourly resolution from the city of Vienna to detect outliers. It is shown that both the outlier detection and the implicit mapping to land-use characteristic is possible with AWT.

• Abstract: Both clustering and outlier detection play an important role for meteorological measurements. We present the AWT algorithm, a clustering algorithm for time series data that also performs implicit outlier detection during the clustering. AWT integrates ideas of several well-known K-Means clustering algorithms. It chooses the number of clusters automatically based on a user-defined threshold parameter, and it can be used for heterogeneous meteorological input data as well as for data sets that exceed the available memory size. We apply AWT to crowd sourced 2-m temperature data with an hourly resolution from the city of Vienna to detect outliers and to investigate if the final clusters show general similarities and similarities with urban land-use characteristics. It is shown that both the outlier detection and the implicit mapping to land-use characteristic is possible with AWT which opens new possible fields of application, specifically in the rapidly evolving field of urban climate and urban weather.

  We design a conceptual fine-grained causal model named TBN Granger Causality. Second, we propose an end-to-end deep generative model called TacSas, which discovers TBN Granger Causality in a generative manner. We test TacSas on climate benchmark ERA5 for climate forecasting and the extreme weather benchmark of NOAA for extreme weather alerts.

  We introduce anomaly clustering, whose goal is to group data into coherent clusters of anomaly types. This is different from anomaly detection, whose goal is to divide anomalies from normal data. We present a simple yet effective clustering framework using a patch-based pretrained deep embeddings and off-the-shelf clustering methods.
