• Title: Phase-driven Domain Generalizable Learning for Nonstationary Time Series
• Authors: Payal Mohapatra, Lixu Wang, Qi Zhu
• Abstract summary: We propose a time-series learning framework, PhASER. It consists of three novel elements: 1) phase augmentation that diversifies non-stationarity while preserving discriminatory semantics, 2) separate feature encoding by viewing time-varying magnitude and phase as independent modalities, and 3) feature broadcasting by phase with a novel residual connection for inherent regularization to enhance distribution invariant learning.

• Abstract: Monitoring and recognizing patterns in continuous sensing data is crucial for many practical applications. These real-world time-series data are often nonstationary, characterized by varying statistical and spectral properties over time. This poses a significant challenge in developing learning models that can effectively generalize across different distributions. In this work, based on our observation that nonstationary statistics are intrinsically linked to the phase information, we propose a time-series learning framework, PhASER. It consists of three novel elements: 1) phase augmentation that diversifies non-stationarity while preserving discriminatory semantics, 2) separate feature encoding by viewing time-varying magnitude and phase as independent modalities, and 3) feature broadcasting by incorporating phase with a novel residual connection for inherent regularization to enhance distribution invariant learning. Upon extensive evaluation on 5 datasets from human activity recognition, sleep-stage classification, and gesture recognition against 10 state-of-the-art baseline methods, we demonstrate that PhASER consistently outperforms the best baselines by an average of 5% and up to 13% in some cases. Moreover, PhASER's principles can be applied broadly to boost the generalization ability of existing time series classification models.
