While labeling such data poses challenges due to the absence of\u0000ground-truth labels during transitions between classes, self-supervised\u0000pre-training offers a way to circumvent this issue. We compare the performance\u0000of LSTMs trained with either fully-supervised or self-supervised loss to a\u0000conventional non-temporal model (LDA) on two data types: segmented ramp data\u0000(lacking transition information) and continuous dynamic data inclusive of class\u0000transitions. Statistical analysis reveals that the temporal models outperform\u0000non-temporal models when trained with continuous dynamic data. Additionally,\u0000the proposed VICReg pre-trained temporal model with continuous dynamic data\u0000significantly outperformed all other models. Interestingly, when using only\u0000ramp data, the LSTM performed worse than the LDA, suggesting potential\u0000overfitting due to the absence of sufficient dynamics.
