Stop&Hop: Early Classification of Irregular Time Series
... Early classification of time series [1,2,3,4] is a pivotal algorithm, especially when sampling cost is high, e.g., medical early diagnosis [5], autonomous driving [6], and action recognition [7]. Under these applications, the early classifier seeks to optimize both speed and accuracy at the same time. ...
Theoretically-inspired sequential density ratio estimation (SDRE) algorithms are proposed for the early classification of time series. Conventional SDRE algorithms can fail to estimate DRs precisely due to the internal overnormalization problem, which prevents the DR-based sequential algorithm, Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT), from reaching its asymptotic Bayes optimality. Two novel SPRT-based algorithms, B2Bsqrt-TANDEM and TANDEMformer, are designed to avoid the overnormalization problem for precise unsupervised regression of SDRs. The two algorithms statistically significantly reduce DR estimation errors and classification errors on an artificial sequential Gaussian dataset and real datasets (SiW, UCF101, and HMDB51), respectively.
