What is Time Series Data

Property

結構化資料
相對於語音、文字、圖像、影片等屬於非結構化資料

SOTA
- However, the ones that have consistently deliver the best results in recent benchmark studies are Inceptiontime (Fawaz, 2019) and ROCKET (Dempster, 2019). Transformers, like TST (Zerveas, 2020), also show a lot of promise, but the application to time series data is so new that they have not been benchmarked against other architectures.

Paper and Code survey

期刊與研討會等級

資源整理：跟上AI前沿知識
- arXiv
  - 通常在arXiv上幾乎可以搜到所有AI領域重要的論文，而且還可以拿到第一手的論文，但是arXiv並沒有嚴格的審核機制，所以在尚未經過其他研討會和期刊審核過之前務必要對內容執懷疑的態度。
- h-index
  - 代表所有發表論文中至少有h篇分別被引用了至少h次；
- h-median
  - 代表被引用最多的h篇（由h-index決定）論文當中引用次數的中位數。舉例：一個研討會有五篇文章，其被引用次數如下：17, 9, 6, 3, 2，其h-index為3，所以其具影響力的h篇文章被引用數如下：17, 9, 6，因此中位數9就是h-median。

Trends in the kaggle contest

近年(2021)時間序列資料競賽的趨勢觀察
- Key takeaways from Kaggle’s most recent time series competition
  - 留意資料處理與模型使用趨勢
    - LSTM當道、Tranformer架構開始出現
    - 透過手動提取特徵、縮短模型收斂時間(效能似乎沒有顯著影響)
Time Series Forecast: A comprehensive Guide

Paradigm Shift

Supervised -> Self-Supervised
接續自監督方法在NLP與與CV領域的成功，2020年前後時間序列(TS)資料也開始採用自監督學習方法

Architecture

Sequence(RNN、LSTM)、CNN -> Transformer
- Self-Attention 與Transformer架構首度提出，隨後在NLP領域大放異彩
  - 2017。NeurIPS。Attention Is All You Need
- 純Transformer首度在CV領域取得突破
  - 2021。ICLR。An Image is Worth 16x16 Words: Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale
- 簡單樸素的生成式自監督訓練方法在CV領域取得成功

Self-Supervised Learning

SOTA(2022/2023)

分類任務Ti-MAE與TS2Vec表現接近
Ti-MAE(生成式訓練)至20200年底尚未公開code，因此目前採用TS2Vec(對比式訓練)進行特徵抽取

詳見TS2Vec論文筆記

comment
- 輕量、運算時間相當快、可輕易取得學習的特徵
- 支援多變量時間序列
- 同時透過不同層級多尺度的特徵比對提供不同層次的語意，提高特徵學習與通用化的能力
  - 時序(temporal)、不同實例(instance)
- 但缺乏頻率方面的特徵提取?
- performance
github

[2022。ICLR。Unsupervised Time-Series Representation Learning with Iterative Bilinear Temporal-Spectral Fusion(BTSF)]

comment
- 透過雙向融合，同時結合時間與頻率特徵(雙線性時空融合)，更好同時的捕捉頻率與時間上的全域特徵
- 過去研究不足處
  - 多僅捕捉時域或頻域、正負樣本多沿時間軸取樣、長期預測表現不佳
- perpormance
  - 想法不錯、但實際表現似乎沒跟近年SOTA拉開差距
  - 沒有code可參考，也未跟21年的SOTA比較(來不及放上?)

2021。ICLR。Unsupervised Representation Learning for Time Series with Temporal Neighborhood Coding(TNC)

comment
- TNC 利用訊號生成過程局部平滑性來學習時間序列窗口的泛化。通過在表徵空間(latent vectors)訊號遠、近端的分布是可區分的

2019。ICLR。Unsupervised Scalable Representation Learning for Multivariate Time Series(SRL/T-Loss)

在部分任務上仍勝出2021年發表的模型
triplet loss
編碼器架構：多層堆疊的擴張卷積層stacked dilated causal CNN
comment
- 透過比較相鄰(正樣本)與隨機(負樣本)的序列，學習到的表徵應該要與相鄰的樣本盡可能地接近、與隨機選取的樣本盡可能地不相似(或推遠距離)
