Description
Summary:Time series classification (TSC) has been around for recent decades as a significant research problem for industry practitioners as well as academic researchers. Due to the rapid increase in temporal data in a wide range of disciplines, an incredible amount of algorithms have been proposed. This paper proposes robust approaches based on state-of-the-art techniques, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), fully convolutional network (FCN), and attention mechanism. A BiLSTM considers both forward and backward dependencies, and FCN is proven to be good at feature extraction as a TSC baseline. Therefore, we augment BiLSTM and FCN in a hybrid deep learning architecture, BiLSTM-FCN. Moreover, we similarly explore the use of the attention mechanism to check its efficiency on BiLSTM-FCN and propose another model ABiLSTM-FCN. We validate the performance on 85 datasets from the University of California Riverside (UCR) univariate time series archive. The proposed models are evaluated in terms of classification testing error and f1-score and also provide performance comparison with various existing state-of-the-art techniques. The experimental results show that our proposed models perform comprehensively better than the existing state-of-the-art methods and baselines.
