This project aims to explore the feasibility and potential of learned lossy compression pipelines with bounded impact on downstream time series analytics. Solving these challenges will benefit a variety of domains, including medical and health data. We aim to contribute to an improved understanding of lossy time series compression as well as instance-optimized representation according to data and operation characteristics and multiple objectives such as compression ratio, compression speed, and impact on the analysis results. To this end, we will devise a principled approach for learned time series compression as well as develop and share a self-contained and extensible open-source toolkit.
