Abstract

In classical concept learning, each training example is a vector of attribute values. At a more advanced level, however, each example can be a series of such vectors. For instance, one such series can represent the sine function and another may represent an exponential function, and we want the computer to tell them apart. Alternatively, the computer may be asked to alert the user that a pulse from source A was immediately followed by a small growth in signal from source B. In both cases, the goal is to recognize specific temporal patterns. This is why we need techniques to enable temporal learning.
