Abstract: Systems and methods use deep, convolutional neural networks over exponentially long history windows to learn alphabets for context tree weighting (CTW) for prediction. Known issues of depth and breadth in conventional context tree weighting predictions are addressed by the systems and methods. To deal with depth, the history can be broken into time windows, permitting the ability to look exponentially far back while having less information the further one looks back. To deal with breadth, a deep neural network classifier can be used to learn to map arbitrary length histories to a small output symbol alphabet. The sequence of symbols produced by such a classifier over the history windows would then become the input sequence to CTW.
