We Need a More Robust Classifier: Dual Causal Learning Empowers Domain-Incremental Time Series Classification
- 通过时间特征解耦分离因果与伪相关特征
- 设计双因果干预机制,显著提升域增量性能
- 轻量级设计适配多种时序模型,适合工业时序应用
全球智能服务依赖于准确的时序分类,近年来深度学习推动了该领域快速发展。然而现有研究在域增量学习中仍面临挑战。本文提出一种轻量且鲁棒的双因果解耦框架(DualCD),可无缝集成至时序分类模型中。DualCD首先引入时序特征解耦模块,分离出对分类有预测力的因果特征和伪相关特征;为更准确捕捉因果特征,设计双因果干预机制,通过组合当前类的因果特征与同类/异类的伪特征生成变体样本,并以因果干预损失迫使模型仅依赖因果特征进行正确预测。大量实验表明,DualCD在多个数据集与模型上均有效提升域增量学习性能。我们还构建了全面的基准评测体系,以推动该方向研究发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The World Wide Web thrives on intelligent services that rely on accurate time series classification, which has recently witnessed significant progress driven by advances in deep learning. However, existing studies face challenges in domain incremental learning. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and robust dual-causal disentanglement framework (DualCD) to enhance the robustness of models under domain incremental scenarios, which can be seamlessly integrated into time series classification models. Specifically, DualCD first introduces a temporal feature disentanglement module to capture class-causal features and spurious features. The causal features can offer sufficient predictive power to support the classifier in domain incremental learning settings. To accurately capture these causal features, we further design a dual-causal intervention mechanism to eliminate the influence of both intra-class and inter-class confounding features. This mechanism constructs variant samples by combining the current class's causal features with intra-class spurious features and with causal features from other classes. The causal intervention loss encourages the model to accurately predict the labels of these variant samples based solely on the causal features. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets and models demonstrate that DualCD effectively improves performance in domain incremental scenarios. We summarize our rich experiments into a comprehensive benchmark to facilitate research in domain incremental time series classification.
