400 500 0 100 200 300 600 A C B 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 A B C A B Problem definition • Given is a long time series or a data set of shorter sequences • Goal: Detect similar patterns of various scaling
Motivation • Object recognition with time series representation • Animation
Motivation (cont) • Time series sampled at different rate • Physiological time series of different frequencies
Formalization • Similarity under uniform scaling • Motifs under uniform scaling
Approach • Observation: only a limited set of scaling factors need to be checked • Algorithm. For every scaling factor do: • rescale all query subsequences • represent all time series as equal length words over the same alphabet (apply SAX)
Approach (cont) • Using PROJECTION (a locality sensitive hashing approach), filter out all non-matching words. • Compute the distance between the unfiltered time series pairs.
Experimental evaluation • Brain activity time series Valuable in predicting epileptic seizure periods.
Experimental evaluation • Effectiveness of the algorithm • Efficiency
Lampasas River Cornertang 350 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Castroville Cornertang Experimental evaluation (cont) • Projectile shapes The algorithm detects a rare cornertang segment – an object that has long intrigued anthropologists.
Experimental evaluation (cont) • Motion-capture motifs On this sequence the method detects the same blocking movement performed by the actor. The Euclidean distance fails to detect this motif.
Conclusion • Uniform scaling motifs appear in diverse areas as – animation, object recognition, medical sequence mining, etc. • The presented probabilistic approach for mining such motifs is accurate and extremely effective. • The method works in an entirely unsupervised way, requiring only a specified motif length. • Possible extensions – multivariate time series, disk resident modifications.
