“…Finally, we showed how the blackbox effect of deep models which renders them uninterpretable, can be mitigated with a Class Activation Map visualization that highlights which parts of the input time series, contributed the most to a certain class identification. Although we have conducted an extensive experimental evaluation, deep learning for time series classification, unlike for computer vision and NLP tasks, still lacks a thorough study of data augmentation (Ismail Fawaz et al, 2018a;Forestier et al, 2017) and transfer learning (Ismail Fawaz et al, 2018c;Serrà et al, 2018). In addition, the time series community would benefit from an extension of this empirical study that compares in addition to accuracy, the training and testing time of these deep learning models.…”
