OTIS: Learning High-Quality Time Series Features With Tiny Encoders
Quick summary
arXiv:2410.07299v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce OTIS, an open time series encoder that yields high-quality time series features for downstream deployment on any system, including resource-constrained wearables and industrial sensors. Currently, the development of powerful general-purpose encoders relies on the scaling laws hypothesis, using large encoder sizes to memorise the heterogeneous distributions of multi-domain training data. However, this reliance on scale creates a barrier to real-world utility, rendering deployment on resource-constrained systems infeasible du
