Abstract

In this paper the induction of temporal grammatical rules from multivariate time series is presented in the context of temporal data mining. This includes the use of unsupervised neural networks for the detection of the most significant temporal patterns in multivariate time series, as well as the use of Machine Learning-algorithms for the generation of a rule-based description of primitive patterns. The main idea lies in introducing several abstraction levels for the pattern discovery process. The results of the previous step then are used to induce temporal grammatical rules at different abstraction levels. This approach was successfully applied to a problem in medicine, called sleep apnea.
