Robust and Efficient Noisy-Label Time-Series Classification via Dynamic Time Warping Based Granular Ball Computing

arXiv:2608. 11704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic Time Warping (DTW)-based Nearest-Neighbor (NN) classifiers are effective for time-series classification but are vulnerable to mislabeled training samples and require numerous DTW computations during inference.

GBFRVFL: Granular-Ball Computing-Based Fuzzy Random Vector Functional Link Network

The paper introduces GBFRVFL, a fuzzy granular-ball random vector functional link network designed to improve robustness in noisy, imbalanced, or uncertain data settings. It employs granular-ball computing to group raw samples into adaptive balls and proposes two membership assignment schemes: F-GBRVFL, which uses fuzzy membership to gauge ball reliability, and SDAP-GBRVFL, which introduces a statistical density‑adaptive Pythagorean membership that adjusts based on class variance, local sparsity, and ball compactness. Experiments on 37 UCI and KEEL datasets show that these models outperform baseline methods in both clean and noisy conditions, achieving higher accuracy and stability.

A Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields for Interpretable Irregular Time Series Classification

The paper introduces a Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields (BORF) for classifying irregular time series, extending the original BORF to handle non-uniform sampling, missing data, and variable lengths. It adds a time-weighted normalization that weights observations by their time deltas, enabling pattern extraction that reflects the true temporal distribution. The method maintains linear time complexity and is evaluated against state‑of‑the‑art irregular time‑series classifiers, achieving competitive performance while providing human‑interpretable explanations.

Granular-ball computing: an efficient, robust, and interpretable adaptive multi-granularity representation and computation method

arXiv:2304. 11171v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To overcome the limitations of point-based inputs, overly fine computation and limited adaptability in existing artificial intelligence methods, Guoyin Wang and Shuyin Xia proposed granular-ball computing as a new artificial intelligence learning paradigm.
