Time series shapelets proposes an approach to extract subsequences most suitable to discriminate time series belonging to distinct classes.Computational complexity is the major issue with shapelets: the time required to identify interesting subsequences can be intractable for large cases. In fact, it is required to evaluate all the subsequences of all the time series of the training dataset. In the literature, improvements have been proposed to accelerate the process, but few provide a solution that dramatically reduces the time required to find a solution.We propose a random-based approach that reduces the time necessary to find a solution, in our experimentation until 3 orders of magnitude compared to the original method.Based on extensive experimentations on several data sets from the literature, we show that even with a few time available, random-shapelet algorithm is able to find very competitive shapelets.
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.
