ABSTRACT

Time series classification (TSC) has attracted considerable attention from the time series data mining community in the last decade. In our previous work, a Compressed Random Shapelet Forest (CRSF) has been proposed to handle this issue. The CRSF algorithm not only achieves competitive performance compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms of TSC but also provides good interpretability of classification results. However, it can only support the classification of univariate time series. This paper introduces a classification algorithm, ECRSF, which extends from the CRSF algorithm for multivariate time series classification. It employs SAX to compress the time series and the Shapelet, which is a pattern that maximally represents a class of time series, to improve the computational efficiency significantly. Experimental results conducted on 26 datasets from UEA demonstrate that this algorithm achieves high classification accuracy while maintaining excellent computational efficiency.

Keywords: Multivariate time series, Shapelet, SAX representation, Time series classification.
