A Generalised Signature Method for Time Series

Résumé

The `signature method' refers to a collection of feature extraction techniques for multimodal sequential data, derived from the theory of controlled differential equations. Variations exist as many authors have proposed modifications to the method, so as to improve some aspect of it. Here, we introduce a \emph{generalised signature method} that contains these variations as special cases, and groups them conceptually into \emph{augmentations}, \emph{windows}, \emph{transforms}, and \emph{rescalings}. Within this framework we are then able to propose novel variations, and demonstrate how previously distinct options may be combined. We go on to perform an extensive empirical study on 26 datasets as to which aspects of this framework typically produce the best results. Combining the top choices produces a canonical pipeline for the generalised signature method, which demonstrates state-of-the-art accuracy on benchmark problems in multivariate time series classification.
