• Abstract: Time series classification faces two unavoidable problems. One is partial feature information and the other is poor label quality, which may affect model performance. To address the above issues, we create a label correction method to time series data with meta-learning under a multi-task framework. There are three main contributions. First, we train the label correction model with a two-branch neural network in the outer loop. While in the model-agnostic inner loop, we use pre-existing classification models in a multi-task way and jointly update the meta-knowledge so as to help us achieve adaptive labeling on complex time series. Second, we devise new data visualization methods for both image patterns of the historical data and data in the prediction horizon. Finally, we test our method with various financial datasets, including XOM, S\&P500, and SZ50. Results show that our method is more effective and accurate than some existing label correction techniques.

  We introduce the setting of Semi-Supervised MAR (SSMAR), where only a part of samples are labeled. Traditional Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods tend to overfit on inaccurate pseudo-labels, leading to error accumulation and degraded performance. We propose Asynchronous Pseudo Labeling and Training (APLT), which explicitly separates the pseudo-labeling process from model training.

  This paper introduces an interactive Systematic Error Analysis and Labeling (seal) tool. It uses a two-step approach to first identify high error slices of data and then, in the second step, introduce methods to give human-understandable semantics to those underperforming slices. We explore a variety of methods for coming up with coherent semantics for the error groups using language models for semantic labeling and a text-to-image model for generating visual features.

  We propose a novel method for batch active learning called ALFA-Mix. We identify unlabelled instances with sufficiently-distinct features by seeking inconsistencies in predictions. We show that inconsistencies in these predictions help discovering features that the model is unable to recognise in the unlabelled instances.

• Concept Drift and Covariate Shift Detection Ensemble with Lagged Labels [22.826118321715455]
  It is important to detect changes and retrain the model in time. Current methods have three weaknesses: 1) using only classification error rate as signal, 2) assuming ground truth labels are immediately available after features from samples are received and 3) unable to decide what data to use to retrain the model when change occurs. We address the first problem by utilizing six different signals to capture a wide range of characteristics of data, and we address the second problem by allowing lag of labels, where labels of corresponding features are received after a lag in time. For the third problem, our proposed method automatically decides what data to use to retrain
