Signal or Noise? Understanding Generative Models for Real-World Sensor Time Series
Zitao Shuai, Zongzhe Xu, Yuntian Wu, Sirui Li, Tianhong Li, Yuzhe Yang
Generative models have changed how machine learning represents complex data distributions, especially in language and vision, yet many real-world systems are observed instead as continuous, high-dimensional, and noisy sensor time series. Existing generative modeling of sensor dat…
