Assessing compression algorithms to improve the efficiency of clustering analysis on AIS vessel trajectories
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the maritime environment, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) is used to monitor vessel activity concerning security and safety ocean-wide. AIS data has been used to detect anomalous behaviors related to suspicious activities and hazardous events. Typically, clustering analysis is used to investigate anomalous events within the AIS data stream. However, the main challenge in this approach is to determine and execute the dissimilarity measure between trajectories since they differ in size and time. In addition, these calculations are computationally expensive and not scalable. To tackle this issue, compression algorithms can be applied to perform clustering analysis since they are typically used to reduce storage and processing time. Therefore, the proposed analysis will assess how compression algorithms affect clustering results with respect to detecting anomalous vessel trajectories. The analysis results show that a suitable compression algorithm can reduce the overall processing time with little impact on the clustering results while supporting the scalability of this type of analysis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
