  1. Interactive Pattern Search in Time Series(Using TimeSearcher 2) Paolo Buono, Aleks Aris, Catherine Plaisant, Amir Khella, and Ben Shneiderman Proceedings, Conference on Visual Display and Analysis, 2005 • Presented to CMSC 838S (Information Visualization) • By Derek Juba & Scott Nestler • On Feb. 16, 2006

  2. Outline • Introduction • Related Work • TimeSearcher 2 Demo • Key Contributions • Future Work • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Time series- sequence of real numbers, representing observations of variable at equal time intervals • Many applications of time series (e.g. EKGs, seismographs, digital recordings) • Traditional analyses are based in classical statistics • Now able to explore time series data with visualization tools • TimeSearcher 2 designed for range of users; statistical analysis skills not required

  4. Introduction (cont) • Timebox- rectangular region that is selected and directly manipulated on a timeline overview of data • Boundaries of timeboxes used to specify parameters for query • Two types • Original- used to filter data and reduce scope of search • New- used to perform specific pattern search in remaining data

  5. Related Work • Diamond Fast (Unwin & Wills, 1999) • Allows visualization, moving, resizing • Only manages short time series • ILOG & Personal Stock Monitor • High level of interaction with enhanced zoom • Lack search capabilities; limited to a single time series • Semantic zoom (Brodbeck, Girardin, 2003) • Spiral view(Carlis & Konstan, 1998)

  6. Related Work (cont) • Time Searcher 1- patterns specified with timeboxes • Choratas- pattern specified numerically • VizTree- pattern specified in segments • QuerySketch- allows direct sketching of pattern • IPBC- 3D tool allows selecting pattern in data; for periodic data No known tool other than TimeSearcher allows specifying multiple patterns on multiple variables

  7. TimeSearcher 2 Demo Demo

  8. Key Contributions • Three-step interactive search • Reduce scope with timebox(es) • Specify a pattern to search for • Refine query dynamically • Search algorithm • Uses modified Euclidean distance between two time series • Transformations available • Offset translation • Magnitude scaling • Linear trend removal • Noise reduction

  9. Future Work • Dealing with larger datasets • Improved interaction • Search pattern selection • Dealing with missing data • Ignore? • Estimate? • Evaluation

  10. Conclusions • Room for improvement in interactive exploration of time series • Improved algorithms • Interactive interfaces • Interactive search used with traditional features aids exploratory analysis • Three-step framework applicable to larger data archives
