Abstract
AbstractGenerative adversarial networks (GANs) have demonstrated their effectiveness in generating temporal data to fill in missing values, enhancing the classification performance of time series data. Longitudinal datasets encompass multivariate time series data with additional static features that contribute to sample variability over time. These datasets often encounter missing values due to factors such as irregular sampling. However, existing GAN-based imputation methods that address this type of data missingness often overlook the impact of static features on temporal observations and classification outcomes. This paper presents a novel method, fusion-aided imputer-classifier GAN (FaIC-GAN), tailored for longitudinal data classification. FaIC-GAN simultaneously leverages partially observed temporal data and static features to enhance imputation and classification learning. We present four multimodal fusion strategies that effectively extract correlated information from both static and temporal modalities. Our extensive experiments reveal that FaIC-GAN successfully exploits partially observed temporal data and static features, resulting in improved classification accuracy compared to unimodal models. Our post-additive and attention-based multimodal fusion approaches within the FaIC-GAN model consistently rank among the top three methods for classification.
