Fast Subsequence Matching in Time-Series Databases

Summary: Maps 1D time-series subsequences to a compact feature-space MBR set; sliding windows yield trails partitioned into sub-trails. Indexing with an R*-tree yields fast, length-agnostic subsequence queries, with 3×–100× speedups over scans (real and synthetic data). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
