Overview:

The rapid advancement in sensing technologies and computational power have led to an unprecedented growth of data, especially temporal data, or what is also commonly known as time series data. They are ubiquitous and are now seen in almost all applications including remote sensing, medicine, finance, engineering, smart cities and many more. Temporal analytics is an important field that has been studied extensively for the last decade, with hundreds to thousands of papers being published each year in various domains. Despite the advancement of new approaches and superiority of state-of-the-art algorithms, modern time series data continue to pose significant challenges to existing approaches. Some of these challenges include the high dimensionality of the data (in terms of number of variables and timesteps), noisiness and irregularity of the data. Additionally, most existing algorithms are not explainable, do not scale and require high-quantity of labelled data, which we do not always have access to. The importance of scalability becomes more prominent as the number of data increases. Therefore, designing new approaches and solutions that are able to tackle these challenges is critical. The objective of this workshop is to bring researchers in this area to discuss new and existing challenges in temporal analytics, which covers a wide range of tasks including classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection, retrieval, feature extraction and learning representations. The solutions can be algorithmic, theoretical or systems-based in nature.
