UFSC Catalogue

The organization of the catalogue is by methods developed and available, that in turn include the single algorithms and the datasets used to test the algorithms. The overall view of the datasets available in the MASTER catalogue is available on the right-hand side.

Similarity Analysis*

In this topic we investigate similarity measures for multidimensional sequences. We have tested these measures on mobility data, but they can be applied to several domains.

*Please, note that it is mandatory to always reference the original datasets.

MSM is the first similarity measure that can deal with the dimensions space, time and semantics, using weights for each dimension. It ignores the order and allows partial matching of dimensions, overcoming the limitations of EDR and LCSS. Finds objects that do the same things or visit the same places, but in different order.

UMS is a parameter free spatial similarity measure that solves the threshold problem, using ell
ipses between trajectory points to measure the spatial distance, solving the problem irregular point distribution. It does not consider time but the order of the points (direction), and outperformed LCSS and EDR. Finds objects that move close in space even if the points have different sampling rates or different spatial distribution.

MUITAS bridges the gap between MSM and EDR. It considers the dimensions space, time, and semantics, allowing the definition of dimensions/attributes that are independent and should be analyzed individually (e.g. weather condition) or dependent dimensions that must be considered together because they are related to each other (e.g. hotel and review). This measure is interesting for data enriched with a high number of semantic dimensions.

SMSM is the first similarity measure that considers heterogeneous elements as stops and moves, and partial sequence.It considers all dimensions of space, time, and semantics, and evaluates the move similarity only the start stop and end stop of a subsequence have a spatial match.

FTSM is an approach to improve the performance of sequence comparison, that instead of using a dynamic programming approach, adopts a solution inspired by the branch and bound paradigm to optimize the exact computation of threshold-based and dynamic threshold-based similarity measures.

Classification/Prediction*

 In this topic we investigate new methods for multidimensional sequence classification. We propose a benchmark and new classification techniques based on time series shapelets, that deal with sequence and are able to automatically combine multiple dimensions. Indeed, we also propose a classification method based on POI frequency, that is faster than the shapelets based approach, but which is not so robust as the number of dimension increase and are needed to discriminate classes. The Embeddings based approach uses all three dimensions of space, time and semantics, and is very robust and in some datasets better than the Movelets, but it does not allow to interpret the patterns, as it is a black box approach. In summary, depending on the classification objective, one approach can be better than others.

Movelets finds the best multidimensional subsequences that discriminate the class. It is a generic method that works for any sequencial data classification problem, being able to deals the dimensions space, time, semantics and others. Movelets uses local features (subsequences) and global features extracted from the entire sequence.

MasterMovelets finds the most discriminant subsequences and automatically chooses the best dimension combination for each subsequence. Subsequences can be heterogenous, so a dimension that is discriminant for one class or one subsequence, may not be for another. MasterMovelets is robust for multiple aspect mobility data, biological and health data.
