Querying and Mining of Time Series Data: Experimental Comparison of Representations and Distance Measures

Summary: Extensive empirical comparison of time-series representations and similarity measures, re-implementing eight representations and nine distance measures across 38 datasets. Unified validation; some literature claims may be optimistic; domain affects effectiveness. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
