Meta-learning to Address Data Shift in Time Series Classification
- 设计地震任务基准,测试元学习在数据漂移下的适应能力。
- 数据少时,元学习比传统方法更快更稳定,过拟合更少。
- 适合需要快速适应新数据的实时时间序列应用。
在工程与科学领域,传统深度学习(TDL)模型在训练与测试数据分布一致时表现良好。然而,现实数据的动态特性(统称数据漂移)导致TDL模型性能迅速下降,需耗费成本重新标注并低效重训。元学习通过少量样本快速适应新数据,为缓解此问题提供可能。本文系统比较了TDL微调与基于优化的元学习算法在时间序列分类中应对数据漂移的能力。提出一个受控、任务导向的地震基准数据集SeisTask,结果表明:在数据稀缺和小模型情况下,元学习实现更快更稳定的适应,且过拟合更少;随着数据量和模型容量增加,其优势减弱,TDL微调表现相当。此外,研究发现任务分布一致性比多样性本身更能促进元学习性能提升。本工作系统评估了元学习在何种条件下优于TDL,并贡献SeisTask作为时间序列自适应学习研究的基准。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Across engineering and scientific domains, traditional deep learning (TDL) models perform well when training and test data share the same distribution. However, the dynamic nature of real-world data, broadly termed \textit{data shift}, renders TDL models prone to rapid performance degradation, requiring costly relabeling and inefficient retraining. Meta-learning, which enables models to adapt quickly to new data with few examples, offers a promising alternative for mitigating these challenges. Here, we systematically compare TDL with fine-tuning and optimization-based meta-learning algorithms to assess their ability to address data shift in time-series classification. We introduce a controlled, task-oriented seismic benchmark (SeisTask) and show that meta-learning typically achieves faster and more stable adaptation with reduced overfitting in data-scarce regimes and smaller model architectures. As data availability and model capacity increase, its advantages diminish, with TDL with fine-tuning performing comparably. Finally, we examine how task diversity influences meta-learning and find that alignment between training and test distributions, rather than diversity alone, drives performance gains. Overall, this work provides a systematic evaluation of when and why meta-learning outperforms TDL under data shift and contributes SeisTask as a benchmark for advancing adaptive learning research in time-series domains.
