Universal hidden monotonic trend estimation with contrastive learning
Pineau, Edouard, Razakarivony, Sébastien, Gonzalez, Mauricio, Schrapffer, Anthony
In this paper, we describe a universal method for extracting the underlying monotonic trend factor from time series data. We propose an approach related to the Mann-Kendall test, a standard monotonic trend detection method and call it contrastive trend estimation (CTE). We show that the CTE method identifies any hidden trend underlying temporal data while avoiding the standard assumptions used for monotonic trend identification. In particular, CTE can take any type of temporal data (vector, images, graphs, time series, etc.) as input. We finally illustrate the interest of our CTE method through several experiments on different types of data and problems.
Secure Bayesian Federated Analytics for Privacy-Preserving Trend Detection
We propose a models with lower latency and power consumption while Bayesian approach to trend detection in which also ensuring privacy. However, as there is no access to the probability of a keyword being trendy, given actual data from participating devices, it poses a problem a dataset, is computed via Bayes' Theorem; the for the analysis of federated learning models. Federated analytics probability of a dataset, given that a keyword (Ramage & Mazzocchi) is a practice introduced to is trendy, is computed through secure aggregation solve this problem. It uses the same infrastructure as federated of such conditional probabilities over local learning to aggregate the computed metric by each datasets of users. We propose a protocol, named participating device using local data and shared models. SAFE, for Bayesian federated analytics that offers Federated analytics has already gone beyond just measuring sufficient privacy for production-grade use the quality metric to computing descriptive statistics cases and reduces the computational burden of (Ramage & Mazzocchi; Zhu et al., 2020), generating synthetic users and an aggregator. We illustrate this approach data (Xin et al., 2020; Chaulwar, 2020) and learning with a trend detection experiment and discuss new insights (Chen et al., 2019). These methods are generally how this approach could be extended further combined with secure aggregation protocols to ensure to make it production-ready.
