HVGH: Unsupervised Segmentation for High-Dimensional Time Series Using Deep Neural Compression and Statistical Generative Model
Description
Humans perceive continuous high-dimensional information by dividing it into meaningful segments, such as words and units of motion. We believe that such unsupervised segmentation is also important for robots to learn topics such as language and motion. To this end, we previously proposed a hierarchical Dirichlet process-Gaussian process-hidden semi-Markov model (HDP-GP-HSMM). However, an important drawback of this model is that it cannot divide high-dimensional time-series data. Furthermore, low-dimensional features must be extracted in advance. Segmentation largely depends on the design of features, and it is difficult to design effective features, especially in the case of high-dimensional data. To overcome this problem, this study proposes a hierarchical Dirichlet process-variational autoencoder-Gaussian process-hidden semi-Markov model (HVGH). The parameters of the proposed HVGH are estimated through a mutual learning loop of the variational autoencoder and our previously proposed HDP-GP-HSMM. Hence, HVGH can extract features from high-dimensional time-series data while simultaneously dividing it into segments in an unsupervised manner. In an experiment, we used various motion-capture data to demonstrate that our proposed model estimates the correct number of classes and more accurate segments than baseline methods. Moreover, we show that the proposed method can learn latent space suitable for segmentation.
