In recent times, deep artificial neural networks have achieved many successes in pattern recognition. Part of this success can be attributed to the reliance on big data to increase generalization. However, in the field of time series recognition, many datasets are often very small. One method of addressing this problem is through the use of data augmentation. In this paper, we survey data augmentation techniques for time series and their application to time series classification with neural netw

However, unlike other domains, time series classification datasets are often small. In order to address this problem, we propose a novel time series data augmentation called guided warping. While many data augmentation methods are based on random transformations, guided warping exploits the element alignment properties of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and

Book covers communicate information to potential readers, but can that same information be learned by computers? We propose using a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to predict the genre of a book based on the visual clues provided by its cover. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether relationships between books and their covers can be learned. However, determining the genre of a book is a difficult task because covers can be ambiguous and genres can be overarching. Despite

Temporal pattern recognition is challenging because temporal patterns require extra considerations over other data types, such as order, structure, and temporal distortions. Recently, there has been a trend in using large data and deep learning, however, many of the tools cannot be directly used with temporal patterns. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for instance are traditionally used for visual and image pattern recognition. This paper proposes a method using a neural network to classify i
In this paper, we propose a method of improving temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) by determining the optimal alignment of weights and inputs using dynamic programming. Conventional CNN convolutions linearly match the shared weights to a window of the input. However, it is possible that there exists a more optimal alignment of weights. Thus, we propose the use of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to dynamically align the weights to the input of the convolutional layer. Specifically, the dynam
In real-world time series recognition applications, it is possible to have data with varying length patterns. However, when using artificial neural networks (ANN), it is standard practice to use fixed-sized mini-batches. To do this, time series data with varying lengths are typically normalized so that all the patterns are the same length. Normally, this is done using zero padding or truncation without much consideration. We propose a novel method of normalizing the lengths of the time series in
In this paper, we propose the use of local distance-based features determined by Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Traditionally, DTW is used as a robust distance metric for time series patterns. However, this traditional use of DTW only utilizes the scalar distance metric and discards the local distances between the dynamically matched sequence elements. This paper proposes recovering these local distances, or DTW features, and utilizing them for the i
