Multivariate time series classification (TSC) is an important data‐driven modeling task in process industries. A common challenge of TSC in the process industry is the unavailability of labels. Active learning (AL) tackles this problem by incrementally obtaining as few labeled instances as possible by querying an oracle. From our initial experience of building an AL application we derive requirements on the machine learning approach in the context of such an interactive application. To meet the requirements, we combine AL with representation learning (RL): a model learns a latent space representation of unlabeled data, which is then used to train a classification model on the labeled data.
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.
