Abstract: Described is a system for analyzing time series data. A sequence of symbols is generated from a set of time series input data related to a moving vehicle using automatic segmentation. A grammar is extracted from the sequence of symbols, and the grammar is a subset of a probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG). Using the grammar, time series input data can be analyzed, and a prediction of the vehicle's movement can be made. Vehicle operations for an autonomous vehicle are determined using the prediction.
