Classification of Time Series Data by One Class Classifier using DTW-D

Time series data classification is an important problem and it have number of applications in scientific environment, activity and gesture recognition, anthropology, entomology, sports etc. The most of the research community working on time series classification typically testing their algorithms using datasets available in UCR and other data repositories, which contain labeled training data and test data. But in reality getting labeled time series data is often very difficult and requires some expert help on that domain. But it is possible to get real time series data with one class label. The possible approach to solve this problem is semi-supervised learning algorithm with a special distance measure DTW-D, and compared this approach with semi-supervised learning with Euclidean Distance, semi-supervised learning with Dynamic Time Warping. We showed that our approach is better one compared to other two approaches, and also explained why other approaches have less accuracy. We demonstrate our ideas on diverse real world problems.
