load_japanese_vowels

load_japanese_vowels(split=None, return_X_y=True)

Load the JapaneseVowels time series classification problem.

Example of a multivariate problem with unequal length series.

Parameters

split: None or str{“train”, “test”}, optional (default=None)

Whether to load the train or test partition of the problem. By

default it loads both.

return_X_y: bool, optional (default=True)

If True, returns (features, target) separately instead of a single dataframe with columns for features and the target.

Returns

X: pd.DataFrame with m rows and c columns

The time series data for the problem with m cases and c dimensions

y: numpy array

The class labels for each case in X

Notes

Dimensionality: multivariate, 12 Series length: 7-29 Train cases: 270 Test cases: 370 Number of classes: 9

A UCI Archive dataset. 9 Japanese-male speakers were recorded saying the vowels ‘a’ and ‘e’. A ‘12-degree linear prediction analysis’ is applied to the raw recordings to obtain time-series with 12 dimensions and series lengths between 7 and 29. The classification task is to predict the speaker. Therefore, each instance is a transformed utterance, 12*29 values with a single class label attached, [1…9]. The given training set is comprised of 30 utterances for each speaker, however the test set has a varied distribution based on external factors of timing and experimental availability, between 24 and 88 instances per speaker.
