A novel shapelet transformation method for classification of multivariate time series with dynamic discriminative subsequence and application in anode current signals

Classification of multi-dimension time series(MTS) plays an important role in knowledge discovery of time series. Many methods for MTS classification have been presented. However, most of these methods did not consider the kind of MTS whose discriminative subsequence was not restricted to one dimension and dynamic. In order to solve the above problem, a method to extract new features with extended shapelet transformation is proposed in this study. First, key features is extracted to replace k shapelets to calculate distance, which are extracted from candidate shapelets with one class for all dimensions. Second, feature of similarity numbers as a new feature is proposed to enhance the reliability of classification. Third, because of the time-consuming searching and clustering of shapelets, distance matrix is used to reduce the computing complexity. Experiments are carried out on public dataset and the results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, anode current signals(ACS) in the aluminum reduction cell are the aforementioned MTS, and the proposed method is successfully applied to the classification of ACS.

Topic-Feature Lattices Construction and Visualization for Dynamic Topic Number

The topic recognition for dynamic topic number can realize the dynamic update of super parameters,and obtain the probability distribution of dynamic topics in time dimension,which helps to clear the understanding and tracking of convection text data.However,the current topic recognition model tends to be based on a fixed number of topics K and lacks multi-granularity analysis of subject knowledge.Therefore,it is impossible to deeply perceive the dynamic change of the topic in the time series.By introducing a novel approach on the basis of Infinite Latent Dirichlet allocation model,a topic feature lattice under the dynamic topic number is constructed.In the model,documents,topics and vocabularies are jointly modeled to generate two probability distribution matrices:Documentstopics and topic-feature words.Afterwards,the association intensity is computed between the topic and its feature vocabulary to establish the topic formal context matrix.Finally,the topic feature is induced according to the formal concept analysis(FCA)theory.The topic feature lattice under dynamic topic number(TFL DTN)model is validated on the real dataset by comparing with the mainstream methods.Experiments show that this model is more in line with actual needs,and achieves better results in semi-automatic modeling of topic visualization analysis.
