Courses

Content

  • Basic approaches of pattern recognition in time series (e.g., sensor signals) and spatially distributed data (e.g., in sensor networks)
  • Theoretical foundations (e.g., segmentation of time series, correlation of data)
  • Time series representation (e.g., features extraction for describing temporal and spatial data)
  • Distance and similarity measures for time series, clustering / classification, motifs, and anomaly/novelty detection using various techniques (e.g., nearest neighbor, neural networks, support vector regression)
  • Diverse sample applications (signature verification, collaborative hazard warning for automotive, activity recognition, etc.)

Learning outcomes

  • Explain various tasks, models, and algorithms of temporal and spatial data mining
