Detecting dynamical anomalies in time series from different palaeoclimate proxy archives using windowed recurrence network analysis
Analysing palaeoclimate proxy time series using windowed recurrence network analysis (wRNA) has been shown to provide valuable information on past climate variability. In turn, it has also been found that the robustness of the obtained results differs among proxies from different palaeoclimate archives. To systematically test the suitability of wRNA for studying different types of palaeoclimate proxy time series, we use the framework of forward proxy modelling. For this, we create artificial input time series with different properties and compare the areawise significant anomalies detected using wRNA of the input and the model output time series. Also, taking into account results for general filtering of different time series, we find that the variability of the network transitivity is altered for stochastic input time series while being rather robust for deterministic input. In terms of significant anomalies of the network transitivity, we observe that these anomalies may be missed by proxies from tree and lake archives after the non-linear filtering by the corresponding proxy system models. For proxies from speleothems, we additionally observe falsely identified significant anomalies that are not present in the input time series. Finally, for proxies from ice cores, the wRNA results show the best correspondence to those for the input data. Our results contribute to improve the interpretation of windowed recurrence network analysis results obtained from real-world palaeoclimate time series

Monitoring Sale Transactions for Illegal Activity
Discriminant analysis and neural network methodologies were applied to the problem of identifying illegal sales transactions. The researchers independently developed models using data provided by a cr^it card company. A series of measures were developed and used to construct the models. The final results were that the discriminant analysis model recognized 32.3% of the fraudulent activity, while the neural network approach found 28.9%. With only 11.6% of the transactions in common, the combination of the two models identified 49.6%i. In order to provide a real time monitoring program, the models were simplified yielding a capture rate of approximately 42%

Social networks: evolving graphs with memory dependent edges
The plethora, and mass take up, of digital communication tech-
nologies has resulted in a wealth of interest in social network data
collection and analysis in recent years. Within many such networks
the interactions are transient: thus those networks evolve over time.
In this paper we introduce a class of models for such networks using
evolving graphs with memory dependent edges, which may appear and
disappear according to their recent history. We consider time discrete
and time continuous variants of the model. We consider the long
term asymptotic behaviour as a function of parameters controlling
the memory dependence. In particular we show that such networks
may continue evolving forever, or else may quench and become static
(containing immortal and/or extinct edges). This depends on the ex-
istence or otherwise of certain inïŹnite products and series involving
age dependent model parameters. To test these ideas we show how
model parameters may be calibrated based on limited samples of time
dependent data, and we apply these concepts to three real networks:
summary data on mobile phone use from a developing region; online
social-business network data from China; and disaggregated mobile
phone communications data from a reality mining experiment in the
US. In each case we show that there is evidence for memory dependent
dynamics, such as that embodied within the class of models proposed
here
Deep Cellular Recurrent Neural Architecture for Efficient Multidimensional Time-Series Data Processing
Efficient processing of time series data is a fundamental yet challenging problem in pattern recognition. Though recent developments in machine learning and deep learning have enabled remarkable improvements in processing large scale datasets in many application domains, most are designed and regulated to handle inputs that are static in time. Many real-world data, such as in biomedical, surveillance and security, financial, manufacturing and engineering applications, are rarely static in time, and demand models able to recognize patterns in both space and time. Current machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models adapted for time series processing tend to grow in complexity and size to accommodate the additional dimensionality of time. Specifically, the biologically inspired learning based models known as artificial neural networks that have shown extraordinary success in pattern recognition, tend to grow prohibitively large and cumbersome in the presence of large scale multi-dimensional time series biomedical data such as EEG.
Consequently, this work aims to develop representative ML and DL models for robust and efficient large scale time series processing. First, we design a novel ML pipeline with efficient feature engineering to process a large scale multi-channel scalp EEG dataset for automated detection of epileptic seizures. With the use of a sophisticated yet computationally efficient time-frequency analysis technique known as harmonic wavelet packet transform and an efficient self-similarity computation based on fractal dimension, we achieve state-of-the-art performance for automated seizure detection in EEG data. Subsequently, we investigate the development of a novel efficient deep recurrent learning model for large scale time series processing. For this, we first study the functionality and training of a biologically inspired neural network architecture known as cellular simultaneous recurrent neural network (CSRN). We obtain a generalization of this network for multiple topological image processing tasks and investigate the learning efficacy of the complex cellular architecture using several state-of-the-art training methods. Finally, we develop a novel deep cellular recurrent neural network (CDRNN) architecture based on the biologically inspired distributed processing used in CSRN for processing time series data. The proposed DCRNN leverages the cellular recurrent architecture to promote extensive weight sharing and efficient, individualized, synchronous processing of multi-source time series data. Experiments on a large scale multi-channel scalp EEG, and a machine fault detection dataset show that the proposed DCRNN offers state-of-the-art recognition performance while using substantially fewer trainable recurrent units
An Adaptive Framework for Generalizing Network Traffic Prediction towards Uncertain Environments
We have developed a new framework using time-series analysis for dynamically
assigning mobile network traffic prediction models in previously unseen
wireless environments. Our framework selectively employs learned behaviors,
outperforming any single model with over a 50% improvement relative to current
studies. More importantly, it surpasses traditional approaches without needing
prior knowledge of a cell. While this paper focuses on network traffic
prediction using our adaptive forecasting framework, this framework can also be
applied to other machine learning applications in uncertain environments.
The framework begins with unsupervised clustering of time-series data to
identify unique trends and seasonal patterns. Subsequently, we apply supervised
learning for traffic volume prediction within each cluster. This specialization
towards specific traffic behaviors occurs without penalties from spatial and
temporal variations. Finally, the framework adaptively assigns trained models
to new, previously unseen cells. By analyzing real-time measurements of a cell,
our framework intelligently selects the most suitable cluster for that cell at
any given time, with cluster assignment dynamically adjusting to
spatio-temporal fluctuations
Regulatory network reconstruction using an integral additive model with flexible kernel functions
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Reconstruction of regulatory networks is one of the most challenging tasks of systems biology. A limited amount of experimental data and little prior knowledge make the problem difficult to solve. Although models that are currently used for inferring regulatory networks are sometimes able to make useful predictions about the structures and mechanisms of molecular interactions, there is still a strong demand to develop increasingly universal and accurate approaches for network reconstruction.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The additive regulation model is represented by a set of differential equations and is frequently used for network inference from time series data. Here we generalize this model by converting differential equations into integral equations with adjustable kernel functions. These kernel functions can be selected based on prior knowledge or defined through iterative improvement in data analysis. This makes the integral model very flexible and thus capable of covering a broad range of biological systems more adequately and specifically than previous models.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>We reconstructed network structures from artificial and real experimental data using differential and integral inference models. The artificial data were simulated using mathematical models implemented in JDesigner. The real data were publicly available yeast cell cycle microarray time series. The integral model outperformed the differential one for all cases. In the integral model, we tested the zero-degree polynomial and single exponential kernels. Further improvements could be expected if the kernel were selected more specifically depending on the system.</p
