Title
Optimization of symbolic feature extraction for pattern classification
Abstract
The concept of symbolic dynamics has been used in recent literature for feature extraction from time series data for pattern classification. The two primary steps of this technique are partitioning of time series to optimally generate symbol sequences and subsequently modeling of state machines from such symbol sequences. The latter step has been widely investigated and reported in the literature. However, for optimal feature extraction, the first step needs to be further explored. The paper addresses this issue and proposes a data partitioning procedure to extract low-dimensional features from time series while optimizing the class separability. The proposed procedure has been validated on two examples: (i) parameter identification in a Duffing system and (ii) classification of fatigue damage in mechanical structures, made of polycrystalline alloys. In each case, the classification performance of the proposed data partitioning method is compared with those of two other classical data partitioning methods, namely uniform partitioning (UP) and maximum entropy partitioning (MEP).
