Abstract: Conventional hierarchical time-series clustering is highly time consuming process as time-series are characteristically lengthy. Moreover, finding right similarity measure providing best possible hierarchical cluster is critical to derive accurate inferences from the hierarchical clusters. Method and system for Auto Encoded Compact Sequences (AECS) based hierarchical time-series clustering that enables compact latent representation of time-series using an undercomplete multilayered Seq2Seq LSTM auto encoder followed by generating of HCs using multiple similarity measures is disclosed. Further, provided is a mechanism to select the best HC among the multiple HCs on-the-fly, based on an internal clustering performance measure of Modified Hubert statistic ?. Thus, the method provides time efficient and low computational cost approach for hierarchical clustering for both on univariate and multivariate time-series.

Abstract: Sepsis is one of the most prevalent causes of mortality in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and delayed treatment is associated with increase in death and financial burden. There is no single laboratory test or clinical sign that by itself can be considered diagnostic of sepsis. The present disclosure provides discriminating domain specific continuous and categorical features that can reliably classify a subject being monitored into a sepsis class or a normal class. A combination of physiological parameters, laboratory parameters and demographic details are used to extract the discriminating features. Even though the parameters may be sporadic in nature, the systems and methods of the present disclosure make use of a sliding time window to generate continuous features that capture the trend in the sporadic data; and a binning approach to generate categorical features to discriminate deviation from the normal class and facilitate timely treatment.
