Indexing and mining Massive Time Series

Keywords: Time Series - Indexing - Nearest Neighbors

Functional Description: Time series indexing is at the center of many scientific works or business needs. The number and size of the series may well explode depending on the concerned domain. These data are still very difficult to handle and, often, a necessary step to handling them is in their indexing. Imitates is a Spark Library that implements two algorithms developed by Zenith. Both algorithms allow indexing massive amounts of time series (billions of series, several terabytes of data).
