Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a way to search a time-series for a given pattern. Basically, instead of Euclidian Distance (ED) for comparing the pattern to the time-series, DTW can be used and allow for more useful matches. Typically, DTW is significantly slower than ED, if implemented naively. Luc…

I don’t understand the choice of using GitLab. This means that you won’t be able to register it in the general registry and we will never be able to do ]add UcrDtw. What is the rationale for this?

My company is using GitLab, so I have to use it.

[image] Datseris: I don’t understand the choice of using GitLab. This means that you won’t be able to register it in the general registry and we will never be able to do ]add UcrDtw . I don’t think this is true. The registry contains a git URL, but I don’t think it cares where that URL is hos…

This is correct, and things will eventually change so that Gitlab and other git platforms are supported for automatic merging into General.

I’m super glad to see more DTW support. DTW is really useful in a lot of audio processing contexts, and the other implementations don’t seem like they’re maintained, so this is a welcome development. Thanks for putting the work in!

Very interesting! I have several questions: How do you handle noisy edges, when S is a squeezed version of Q? According to the project description, Return the maximum distance encountered during the search. This allows for mapping the distance values onto a similarity range [0, 1]. What…

[image] sairus7: How do you handle noisy edges, when S is a squeezed version of Q? That isn’t covered yet, but I did find a promising paper for this use-case, which I document in an issue . [image] sairus7: How about transforming DTW distance to the correlation coefficient? The goal o…

[image] Seanny123: I’ve never heard of shapeDTW! It seems quite promising. I’ll curious how it compares to Matrix Profile, since they both seem concerned with sub-sequences. However, it does seem easier to implement than Matrix Profile… As far as I know, the main idea of this is that you can …

[image] Seanny123: First, I want to finish the multi-variate code So currently multivariate data isn’t supported? [image] sairus7: As far as I know, the main idea of this is that you can transform your series into some feature series/sequence and then optimize distance in feature space, …
