FRUITS: Feature Extraction Using Iterated Sums for Time Series Classification

We introduce a pipeline for time series classification that extracts features based on the iterated-sums signature (ISS) and then applies a linear classifier. These features are intrinsically nonlinear, capture chronological information, and, under certain settings, are invariant to time-warping. We are competitive with state-ofthe-art methods on the UCR archive, both in terms of accuracy and speed. We make our code available at https://github.com/irkri/fruits.
