• Abstract summary: We focus on the problem of developing a structure-aware input representation for semi-structured object sequences. This type of data is often represented as a sequence of sets of key-value pairs over time. We propose a two-part approach, which first considers each key independently and encodes a representation of its values over time.

• Abstract: In this paper we explore the task of modeling semi-structured object sequences; in particular, we focus our attention on the problem of developing a structure-aware input representation for such sequences. Examples of such data include user activity on websites, machine logs, and many others. This type of data is often represented as a sequence of sets of key-value pairs over time and can present modeling challenges due to an ever-increasing sequence length. We propose a two-part approach, which first considers each key independently and encodes a representation of its values over time; we then self-attend over these value-aware key representations to accomplish a downstream task. This allows us to operate on longer object sequences than existing methods. We introduce a novel shared-attention-head architecture between the two modules and present an innovative training schedule that interleaves the training of both modules with shared weights for some attention heads. Our experiments on multiple prediction tasks using real-world data demonstrate that our approach outperforms a unified network with hierarchical encoding, as well as other methods including a record-centric representation and a flattened representation of the sequence.

• Capturing Temporal Components for Time Series Classification [5.70772577110828]
  This work introduces a textitcompositional representation learning approach trained on statistically coherent components extracted from sequential data. Based on a multi-scale change space, an unsupervised approach is proposed to segment the sequential data into chunks with similar statistical properties. A sequence-based encoder model is trained in a multi-task setting to learn compositional representations from these temporal components for time series classification.

  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.

  We propose TimeMAE, a novel self-supervised paradigm for learning transferrable time series representations based on transformer networks. The TimeMAE learns enriched contextual representations of time series with a bidirectional encoding scheme. To solve the discrepancy issue incurred by newly injected masked embeddings, we design a decoupled autoencoder architecture.

  A recently proposed Disentangled sequence-to-sequence model (Dangle) shows promising generalization capability. We introduce two key modifications to this model which encourage more disentangled representations and improve its compute and memory efficiency. Specifically, instead of adaptively re-encoding source keys and values at each time step, we disentangle their representations and only re-encode keys periodically.

  We propose a distributed approach to object-centric representations: the Complex AutoEncoder. We show that this simple and efficient approach achieves better reconstruction performance than an equivalent real-valued autoencoder on simple multi-object datasets. We also show that it achieves competitive unsupervised object discovery performance to a SlotAttention model on two datasets, and manages to disentangle objects in a third dataset where SlotAttention fails - all while being 7-70 times faster to train.

  Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) aims at discovering salient objects that repeatedly appear in a given query group containing two or more relevant images. One challenging issue is how to effectively capture co-saliency cues by modeling and exploiting inter-image relationships. We present an end-to-end collaborative aggregation-and-distribution network (CoADNet) to capture both salient and repetitive visual patterns from multiple images.
