Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Physiological time series are common data sources in many health applications. Mining data from physiological time series is crucial for promoting healthy living and reducing governmental medical expenditure. Recently, research and applications of deep learning methods on physiological time series have developed rapidly because such data can be continuously recorded by smart wristbands or smartwatches. However, existing deep learning methods suffer from excessive model complexity and a lack of explanation. This paper aims to handle these issues.
