Time series analytics: Causation detections and dynamics predictions

In this talk, I will introduce some of our recent works on time series analytics, including directional interactions detection and dynamics predictions. Based on the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems as well as machine learning techniques, we develop several data-driven and model-free frameworks for realizing detections and predictions.  Through comparing our frameworks with other existing methods in the literature, we show the advantages of our frameworks when they are used to deal with the data produced synthetically by dynamical oscillators and collected by real experiments as well.
