Anticipatory DTW for Efficient Similarity Search in Time Series Databases

Summary: Anticipatory DTW reuses filter-step info during refinement to prune candidates earlier. It leverages state-of-the-art DTW lower bounds with negligible overhead, no false dismissals, and scales to multivariate, long series and wide bands. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
