Early time series classification (ETSC) is crucial for real-world time-sensitive applications. This task aims to classify time series data with least timestamps at the desired accuracy. Early methods used fixed-length time series to train the deep models, and then quit the classification process by setting specific exiting rules. However, these methods may not adapt to the length variation of flow data in ETSC. Recent advances have proposed end-to-end frameworks, which leveraged the Recurrent Neural Networks to handle the varied-length problems, and the exiting subnets for early quitting. Unfortunately, the conflict between the classification and early exiting objectives is not fully considered. To handle these problems, we decouple the ETSC task into the varied-length TSC task and the early exiting task. First, to enhance the adaptive capacity of classification subnets to the data length variation, a feature augmentation module based on random length truncation is proposed. Then, to handle the conflict between classification and early exiting, the gradients of these two tasks are projected into a unified direction. Experimental results on 12 public datasets demonstrate the promising performance of our proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
