Fast Online Similarity Search for Uncertain Time Series

Abstract

To achieve fast retrieval of online data, it is needed for the retrieval algorithm to increase throughput while reducing latency. Based on the traditional online processing algorithm for time series data, we propose a spatial index structure that can be updated and searched quickly in a real-time environment. At the same time, we introduce an adaptive segmentation method to divide the space corresponding to nodes. Unlike traditional retrieval algorithms, for uncertain time series, the distance threshold used for screening will dynamically change due to noise during the search process. Extensive experiments are conducted to compare the accuracy of the query results and the timeliness of the algorithm. The results show that the index structure proposed in this paper has better efficiency while maintaining a similar true positive ratio
