Abstract

With the growing ubiquity of smartphones, smartwatches, and other devices capable of collecting data across time, applications that use time series as input, such as cardiac monitoring and activity recognition, have become increasingly popular. Thus, various techniques for Machine Learning applied to time series have been developed. However, most of those techniques were created for classification and forecasting tasks, which makes the extrinsic regression task lack proper algorithms. Considering this scenario, this research will propose and evaluate Time Series Extrinsic Regression algorithms that consider the temporal relations within data. Furthermore, those algorithms will be integrated into the sktime framework to expand its Machine Learning toolbox. (AU)
