Abstract
Time series classification (TSC) task attracts huge interests, since they correspond to the real-world problems in a wide variety of fields, such as industry monitoring. Deep learning methods, especially CNN and FCN, shows competitive performance in TSC task by their virtue of good adaption for raw time series and self-adapting extraction of features. Then various variants of CNN are proposed so as to make further breakthrough by the better perception to characteristics of data. Among them, LSTM-FCN and GRU-FCN who learn spatial and temporal features simultaneously are the most remarkable ones, achieving state of the art results. Therefore, inspired by their success and in consideration of the discriminative features implied in time series are diverse in size, a multimodal network LSTM-MFCN composed of multi-scale FCN (MFCN) and LSTM are proposed in this work. The gate-based network LSTM naturally fits to various terms time dependencies, and FCN with multi-scale sets of filters are capable to perceive spatial features of different range from time series curves. Besides, dilation convolution is deployed to build multi-scale receptive fields in larger level without increasing the parameters to be trained. The full perception of large multi-scale spatial–temporal features lead LSTM-MFCN to possess comprehensive and thorough grasp to time series, thus achieve even better accuracies. Finally, two representative architectures are presented specifically and their experiments on UCR datasets reveals the effectiveness and superiority of proposed LSTM-MFCN.
