High Precision ≠ High Cost: Temporal Data Fusion for Multiple Low-Precision Sensors

Summary: Temporal fusion from multiple cheap, low-precision sensors via per-timestamp observation selection, not weighted averaging. ML-guided local trend model; NP-hard optimal fusion, DP exact algorithms, plus approximation with guarantees, robust to outliers. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on May 24 2026)
