Time Series Classification through Diffeomorphic Time Warping (DiffTW)

arXiv:2606. 23472v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time series classification involves learning a mapping from a continuous, temporally ordered sequence of real-valued observations to discrete response variables, like class labels.

Minimum distance classification for nonlinear dynamical systems

The paper introduces Dynafit, a kernel-based method for classifying trajectories produced by distinct nonlinear dynamical systems. It learns a distance metric by approximating the Koopman operator, enabling classification in a feature space without explicit dimensionality. The authors demonstrate Dynafit on logistic map chaos detection, handwritten dynamical pattern recognition, and visual dynamic texture classification.

Two-Parameter Flow Map Learning for Continuous-Time Diffeomorphic Image Registration

The paper introduces a new framework for learning continuous-time diffeomorphic image registration by modeling a non-autonomous ODE as a two-parameter flow map. By enforcing cocycle consistency, the method learns flow maps without time discretization or velocity integration during training, enabling efficient inference with few compositions. Experiments on nine datasets show consistent alignment improvements, including a 2.1% Dice gain on brain MRI, 12% TRE reduction on lung CT, and 2.6% Dice improvement on cardiac MRI and ultrasound.

CPDA: Class-Conditional Path Distribution Alignment for Unsupervised Time-Series Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2608. 09193v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised time-series domain adaptation (DA) addresses the challenge of transferring a classifier from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain under distribution shifts induced by different users, sensors, devices, acquisition conditions, or temporal dynamics.

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.
