针对时间序列的测试时自适应,提出新方法提升泛化能力

Augmented Contrastive Clustering with Uncertainty-Aware Prototyping for Time Series Test Time Adaptation

  • 用增强数据+不确定性原型捕捉时序特征
  • 通过熵比较筛选可信伪标签,减少噪声影响
  • 对比聚类增强类别区分度,适合工业时序场景

测试时自适应(TTA)旨在仅使用推理阶段的无标签测试数据来调整预训练深度神经网络。尽管TTA在视觉任务中展现出潜力,但在时间序列领域的应用仍远未充分探索。现有方法多源自视觉任务,难以有效处理真实时间序列的复杂动态特性,导致适应性能不佳。为此,本文提出一种简单而有效的时序数据TTA方法——不确定性感知原型增强对比聚类(ACCUP)。该方法首先对时间序列数据进行增强集成,以捕捉多样化的时序信息与变化,并引入不确定性感知原型以提炼关键特征;其次,设计熵比较机制,有选择性地获取更置信的预测结果,提升伪标签可靠性;最后,采用增强对比聚类策略,提升特征可区分性,缓解噪声伪标签带来的误差累积问题,促进同类样本聚类紧凑、异类样本分离清晰。在三个真实世界时间序列数据集及一个视觉数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法具有显著有效性与良好泛化能力,推动了时间序列领域TTA研究的发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Test-time adaptation aims to adapt pre-trained deep neural networks using solely online unlabelled test data during inference. Although TTA has shown promise in visual applications, its potential in time series contexts remains largely unexplored. Existing TTA methods, originally designed for visual tasks, may not effectively handle the complex temporal dynamics of real-world time series data, resulting in suboptimal adaptation performance. To address this gap, we propose Augmented Contrastive Clustering with Uncertainty-aware Prototyping (ACCUP), a straightforward yet effective TTA method for time series data. Initially, our approach employs augmentation ensemble on the time series data to capture diverse temporal information and variations, incorporating uncertainty-aware prototypes to distill essential characteristics. Additionally, we introduce an entropy comparison scheme to selectively acquire more confident predictions, enhancing the reliability of pseudo labels. Furthermore, we utilize augmented contrastive clustering to enhance feature discriminability and mitigate error accumulation from noisy pseudo labels, promoting cohesive clustering within the same class while facilitating clear separation between different classes. Extensive experiments conducted on three real-world time series datasets and an additional visual dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization potential of the proposed method, advancing the underexplored realm of TTA for time series data.
