How Fujitsu’s technology classifies time-series data

Fujitsu claims it has developed a new deep learning technology to analyse time-series data with high precision, a discovery that could help improve the efficiency of embedded chips in wearables and devices, for example.

When applied to Internet of Things data, the company says, its new technology “significantly improves accuracy by about 25 per cent compared to previous technology”.

Time-series data – which is basically continuous monitoring but with data taken at specific regular times, such as every millisecond – can be subject to severe volatility, making it difficult for people to discern patterns in the data.
