  2. What are Time Series? • Simply: • Observations of a variable made over time • Typical across a wide variety of domains • Medicine • Physiology • Finance • Microbiology • Meteorology • Surveillance

  3. Motivation: Critical Decision Making • Domains • Spacecraft Launch • Medicine • Research Directions • Mining Archives • Extract rules, patterns, regularities • Visualizing Streams • Novel visualization and interaction for: • Query by content • Motif discovery • Anomaly detection

  4. Some Visual Time Series Systems • Time Searcher • Direct Manipulation Pattern Query • Theme Rivers • Theme strengthover time • Spirals • Periodic Data withknown period Hochheiser and Shniederman dot.com stocks 1999-2002 Havre, Hetzler, Whitney & Nowell InfoVis 2000 Weber et. al

  5. VizTree • Construct a subsequence tree to span the space of subsequences of a given time series. • Use this to collect statistics about the series. • Size of the structure is independent of the length of the series.

  6. VizTree Approach - Overview • Place windows along the time series to obtain subsequences. • Quantize along time and value dimension to obtain sequences of discrete symbols. • Construct a subsequence tree to represent all possible such sequences. • Collect frequencies of traversal of the branches of the subsequence tree. • Use these for motif and anomaly detection, and for comparing time series.

  7. Subsequences Place windows along the time series to obtain subsequences.

  8. Discretization • Subsequences are patterns. • Take windows along time series – length of window ~ length of subsequence. • Discretize the range of data - one symbol for each quantum. • Divide window into segments ~ represent one segment with one symbol.

  9. Symbolic Aggregate approXimation(SAX) Representative symbols Quantization levels Segments One subsequence Discrete version = acdcbdba

  10. Subsequence Tree - example a b • symbols={a,b,c} • #segments per window=2 • Tree spans the space of subsequences. • #Branch factor ~ # symbols (size of alphabet) • Depth ~ # segments per window • Branch thickness ~ freq. of occurrence of subsequence. a c a b b c a c b c

  11. VisTree Tool Demo

  12. Query by Content: Subsequence Matching • Finding known patterns • Chunking • Breaking a time series into individual series • Methods • Time (e.g. power usage) • Shape (e.g. heart beats) • Search Approaches • Exact - Slow • Approximate - Fast • Exploration • Hypothesis Testing --------- VizTree --------------------- VizTree

  13. Motif Discovery • Finding unknown patterns • Not exact matches • VisTree allows exploration at varying levels of precision • E.g., cc** vs. ccac

  14. Anomaly Detection • Finding abnormal patterns. • Use data already seen to identify anomalies • Identified by thin branches

  15. Comparing Series: Diff Tree • Same parameters  same tree structure • Compare the test branch frequencies with respect to reference branch frequencies • Blue = underrepresented • Green = overrepresented • Red = equivalent • Thickness = magnitude

  16. Thoughts on VizTree (Vis.) • Most of “discovery” is implicit • Manual search • Parameter setting might be an issue • Automation might help • Tree Visualization • Use of real estate? • Effective? • Intuitive? • Alternatives?

  17. Thoughts on VizTree (HCI) • Primarily a tool to for researchers now • (Also, we might have an outdated version) • Even so, some HCI suggestions: • Indication of how tree detail relates to tree overview • Zoom into a specific area of the time series (rather than zoom+scroll) • Selection in subsequence detail relates to subsequence overview • Unfortunately, least interesting patterns are most easily accessed (branches at root) • “snap to branch” or “snap to intersection” ? • Ability to turn off highlighting (undo)

  18. Summary: Unique Contributions • Fundamental support for aperiodic series • Scalable • Resource requirements do not grow linearly with length series • Rich visual feature set • Global summaries • Diff-trees between multiple series • Local patterns and anomalies
