Motif Discovery consists of finding repeated patterns and locating their occurrences in a time series without prior knowledge about their shape or location. Most state-of-the-art algorithms rely on three core parameters: the number of motifs to discover, the length of the motifs, and a similarity threshold between motif occurrences. Setting these p...
