  • 交替使用典型性和多样性选择样本,优化记忆缓冲区
  • 在有限标注下性能超越所有基线,接近全监督效果
  • 适合标注成本高的工业、医疗等实时时间序列场景

时间序列数据在医疗、制造等领域至关重要。现实环境中模型需应对随时间变化的数据分布,通常通过持续学习(CL)解决。但现有方法受限于数据流极少完全标注,标注成本成为主要瓶颈。本文研究多变量时间序列的主动类增量学习(ACIL),即在固定标注预算下,模型逐步学习新类别并选择性请求标签。我们系统评估了多种查询策略与重放式方法的组合,在四个基准数据集上分析其对可塑性、稳定性及标签效率的影响。结果表明,基于不确定性和分布感知的方法在标注受限时表现不佳。为此,我们提出新型混合查询策略 TypiCore,通过在主动学习周期中交替采用典型性与多样性样本选择,构建兼具代表性与多样性的记忆缓冲区。在 TSCIL 基准上,TypiCore 显著优于所有基线,多个数据集上达到或超过全监督持续学习性能,仅需极少量标签。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Time series data play a pivotal role across numerous domains, including healthcare and manufacturing. In real-world environments, models must cope with distribution shifts over time, a challenge commonly addressed through Continual Learning (CL) techniques. However, existing CL methods face a critical limitation: real-world data streams are rarely fully labeled, making annotation cost a major practical constraint. This paper investigates Active Class-Incremental Learning (ACIL) for multivariate time series, where a model must sequentially learn new classes while selectively querying labels under a fixed annotation budget. We present a systematic evaluation of a wide range of query strategies combined with multiple rehearsal-based approaches, assessing their impact on plasticity, stability, and label efficiency across four benchmark datasets. Our analysis reveals the limitations of uncertainty-based and distribution-aware methods in achieving strong performance under constrained labeling budgets. To address these shortcomings, we propose TypiCore, a novel hybrid query strategy that alternates between typicality-based and diversity-based sample selection across active learning cycles, enabling the construction of memory buffers that are both representative and diverse. Evaluated on the TSCIL benchmark, TypiCore delivers statistically significant improvements over all baselines and matches or surpasses fully supervised continual learning performance on multiple datasets while requiring a fraction of the available labels.
