SHAPELET DISTANCE HARDWARE ACCELERATOR

Shapelet-based methods have emerged as accurate and interpretable tools for time-series classification in machine learning applications. Although these methods find wide applicability, nowadays their use is restricted due to the heavy computational burden associated with numerous computations of z-score normalization and Euclidean distance. The current article addresses this issue with the proposal of a parameterizable parallel hardware accelerator to perform the aforementioned computations. Results show that our dedicated shapelet distance engine can significantly reduce the run time when compared with a software implementation.
