Abstract
Similarity search on time series is an essential operation in many applications. In the state-of-the-art methods, such as the R-tree based methods, SAX and iSAX, time series are by default divided into equi-length segments globally, that is, all time series are segmented in the same way. Those methods then focus on how to approximate or symbolize the segments and construct indexes. In this paper, we make an important observation: global segmentation of all time series may incur unnecessary cost in space and time for indexing time series. We develop DSTree, a data adaptive and dynamic segmentation index on time series. In addition to savings in space and time, our new index can provide tight upper and lower bounds on distances between time series. An extensive empirical study shows that our new index DSTree supports time series similarity search effectively and efficiently.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
