Abstract

This paper presents a novel, generic, scalable, autonomous, and flexible supervised learning algorithm for the classification of multi-variate and variable length time series. The essential ingredients of the algorithm are randomization, segmentation of time-series, decision tree ensemble based learning of subseries classifiers, combination of subseries classification by voting, and cross-validation based temporal resolution adaptation. Experiments are carried out with this method on 10 synthetic and real-world datasets. They highlight the good behavior of the algorithm on a large diversity of problems. Our results are also highly competitive with existing approaches from the literature.
