Machine learning model for temporal pattern recognition

Abstract

Temporal abstraction and data mining are two research fields that have tried to synthesis time oriented data and bring out an understanding on the hidden relationships that may exist between time oriented events. In clinical settings, having the ability to know the hidden relationships on patient data as they unfold could help save a life by aiding in detection of conditions that are not obvious to clinicians and healthcare workers. Understanding the hidden patterns is a huge challenge due to the exponential search space unique to time-series data. In this paper, we propose a temporal pattern recognition model based on dimension reduction and similarity measures thereby maintaining the temporal nature of the raw data.
