Abstract:
We introduce an unsupervised pattern recognition algorithm termed the Discrete Shocklet Transform (DST) by which local dynamics of time series can be extracted. Time series that are hypothesized to be generated by underlying deterministic mechanisms have significantly different DSTs than do purely random null models. We apply the DST to a sociotechnical data source, usage frequencies for a subset of words on Twitter over a decade, and demonstrate the ability of the DST to filter high-dimensional data and automate the extraction of anomalous behavior.
