Deep Learning for Time Series Classification

As the simplest type of time series data, univariate time series provides a reasonably good starting point to study the temporal signals. The representation learning and classification research has found many potential application in the fields like finance, industry, and health care. Common similarity measures like Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) or the Euclidean Distance (ED) are decades old. Recent efforts on different feature engineering and distance measures designing give much higher accuracy on the UCR time series classification benchmarks (like BOSS [1],[2], PROP [3] and COTE [4]) but also let to the pitfalls of higher complexity and interpretability.

The exploition on the deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNN) for end-to-end time series classification are also under active exploration like multi-channel CNN (MC-CNN) [5] and multi-scale CNN (MCNN) [6]. However, they still need heavy preprocessing and a large set of hyperparameters which would make the model complicated to deploy.

This repository contains three deep neural networks models (MLP, FCN and ResNet) for the pure end-to-end and interpretable time series analytics. These models provide a good baseline for both application for real-world data and future research in deep learning on time series.

Before Start

What is the best approach to classfiy time series? Very hard to say. From the experiments we did, COTE, BOSS are among the best and DL-based appraoch (FCN, ResNet or MCNN) show no significant difference with them. If you prefer white box model, try BOSS first. If you like end-to-end solution, use FCN or even MLP with dropout as your fisrt baseline (FCN also support a certain level of model interpretability as from CAM or grad-CAM).

However, the UCR time series is kind of the 'extremely ideal data'. In a more applicable scenario, highly skewed labels with very non-stationary dynamics and frequent distribution/concept drift occur everywhere. Hopefully we can address these more complex issue with a very neat and effective DL based framework to enable end-2-end solution with good model interpretability , and yeah, we are exactly working on it.

Network Structure

Network Structure Three deep neural network architectures are exploited to provide a fully comprehensive baseline.

Localize the Contributing Region with Class Activation Map

Another benefit of FCN and ResNet with the global average pooling layer is its natural extension, the class activation map (CAM) to interpret the class-specific region in the data [7]. CAM

We can see that the discriminative regions of the time series for the right classes are highlighted. We also highlight the differences in the CAMs for the different labels. The contributing regions for different categories are different. The CAM provides a natural way to find out the contributing region in the raw data for the specific labels. This enables classification-trained convolutional networks to learn to localize without any extra effort. Class activation maps also allow us to visualize the predicted class scores on any given time series, highlighting the discriminative subsequences detected by the convolutional networks. CAM also provide a way to find a possible explanation on how the convolutional networks work for the setting of classification.

Visualize the Filter/Weights

We adopt the Gramian Angular Summation Field (GASF) [8] to visualize the filters/weights in the neural networks. The weights from the second and the last layer in MLP are very similar with clear structures and very little degradation occurring. The weights in the first layer, generally, have the higher values than the following layers. Feature

Classification Results

This table provides the testing (not training) classification error rate on 85 UCR time series data sets. For more experimental settings please refer to our paper.

Please note that the 'best' row is not a reasonable peformance measure. The MPCE score is TODO.
