Twin Subsequence Search in Time Series.

We address the problem of subsequence search in time series using Chebyshev distance, to which we refer as twin subsequence search. We first show how existing time series indices can be extended to perform twin subsequence search. Then, we introduce TS-Index, a novel index tailored to this problem. Our experimental evaluation compares these approaches against real time series datasets, and demonstrates that TS-Index can retrieve twin subsequences much faster under various query conditions.
