LoCoMotif: Discovering time-warped motifs in time series
Time Series Motif Discovery (TSMD) refers to the task of identifying patterns that occur multiple times (possibly with minor variations) in a time series. All existing methods for TSMD have one or more of the following limitations: they only look for the two most similar occurrences of a pattern; they only look for patterns of a pre-specified, fixed length; they cannot handle variability along the time axis; and they only handle univariate time series. In this paper, we present a new method, LoCoMotif, that has none of these limitations. The method is motivated by a concrete use case from physiotherapy. We demonstrate the value of the proposed method on this use case. We also introduce a new quantitative evaluation metric for motif discovery, and benchmark data for comparing TSMD methods. LoCoMotif substantially outperforms the existing methods, on top of being more broadly applicable.

Steering the LoCoMotif: Using Domain Knowledge in Time Series Motif Discovery
Time Series Motif Discovery (TSMD) identifies repeating patterns in time series data, but its unsupervised nature might result in motifs that are not interesting to the user. To address this, we propose a framework that …
