Researchers propose a new approach called fuzzy cluster-aware contrastive clustering (FCACC) for unsupervised time series learning
FCACC combines representation learning and clustering objectives to capture complex patterns in unlabeled time series data
The approach uses a three-view data augmentation strategy and a cluster-aware hard negative sample generation mechanism to improve feature extraction and discriminative ability
Experimental results demonstrate that FCACC outperforms selected baseline methods on 40 benchmark datasets
