Search

To achieve fast retrieval of online data, it is needed for the retrieval algorithm to increase throughput while reducing latency. Based on the traditional online processing algorithm for time series data, we propose a spatial index structure that can be updated and searched quickly in a real-time environment. At the same time, we introduce an adaptive segmentation method to divide the space corresponding to nodes. Unlike traditional retrieval algorithms, for uncertain time series, the distance threshold used for screening will dynamically change due to noise during the search process. Extensive experiments are conducted to compare the accuracy of the query results and the timeliness of the algorithm. The results show that the index structure proposed in this paper has better efficiency while maintaining a similar true positive ratio.

A shapelet is a time-series subsequence that can represent local, phase-independent similarity in shape. Time series classification with subsequences can save computing cost, improve computing speed and improve algorithm accuracy. The shapelet-based approaches for time series classification have an advantage of interpretability. Concentrating on uncertain time series, this paper tries to apply the shapelet-based method to classify uncertain time series. Due to the high dimensions of time series, the number of the generated candidate shapelets is generally huge. As a result, the calculation amount is large too. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we introduce a piecewise linear representation (PLR) method for uncertain time series based on key points so that the traditional shapelet discovery algorithm can be improved efficiently. We verify our approach with experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed shapelet algorithm can be used for uncertain time series and it can provide classification accuracy well while reducing time cost.
