Discovery of shifting patterns in sequence classification

摘要

A method includes receiving data for an entity for each of a plurality of time points. For each of a plurality of time windows that each comprises a respective plurality of time points, a confidence value is determined. The confidence value provides an indication of the degree to which the time window contains data that is useful in discriminating between classes. The confidence values are used to determine a probability of a class and the probability of the class is used to set a predicted class for the entity.
