A study of systems implementation languages for the POCCNET system
The results are presented of a study of systems implementation languages for the Payload Operations Control Center Network (POCCNET). Criteria are developed for evaluating the languages, and fifteen existing languages are evaluated on the basis of these criteria
Interpretable Categorization of Heterogeneous Time Series Data
Understanding heterogeneous multivariate time series data is important in
many applications ranging from smart homes to aviation. Learning models of
heterogeneous multivariate time series that are also human-interpretable is
challenging and not adequately addressed by the existing literature. We propose
grammar-based decision trees (GBDTs) and an algorithm for learning them. GBDTs
extend decision trees with a grammar framework. Logical expressions derived
from a context-free grammar are used for branching in place of simple
thresholds on attributes. The added expressivity enables support for a wide
range of data types while retaining the interpretability of decision trees. In
particular, when a grammar based on temporal logic is used, we show that GBDTs
can be used for the interpretable classi cation of high-dimensional and
heterogeneous time series data. Furthermore, we show how GBDTs can also be used
for categorization, which is a combination of clustering and generating
interpretable explanations for each cluster. We apply GBDTs to analyze the
classic Australian Sign Language dataset as well as data on near mid-air
collisions (NMACs). The NMAC data comes from aircraft simulations used in the
development of the next-generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS
X).Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, SIAM International Conference on Data
