Generalized iterated-sums signatures
2020, Diehl, Joscha, Ebrahimi-Fard, Kurusch, Tapia, Nikolas
We explore the algebraic properties of a generalized version of the iterated-sums signature, inspired by previous work of F. Király and H. Oberhauser. In particular, we show how to recover the character property of the associated linear map over the tensor algebra by considering a deformed quasi-shuffle product of words on the latter. We introduce three non-linear transformations on iterated-sums signatures, close in spirit to Machine Learning applications, and show some of their properties.
Tropical time series, iterated-sum signatures and quasisymmetric functions
2020, Diehl, Joscha, Ebrahimi-Fard, Kurusch, Tapia, Nikolas
Driven by the need for principled extraction of features from time series, we introduce the iterated-sums signature over any commutative semiring. The case of the tropical semiring is a central, and our motivating, example, as it leads to features of (real-valued) time series that are not easily available using existing signature-type objects.
