SAX and iSAX

While I was following experiments from the previous week with similar setup trying to see the performance of DTW on the simpler trajectories I was continuing reviewing literature and hit the Symbolic Aggregate approXimation paper and SAX algorithm. What a find! Next were iSAX and MK. This algorithm for finding motifs (patterns) in time-series looks very good and after studying all this material I've decided to contact authors for Java or R code to try it on the telemetry data, - they replied quick but unfortunately they had no Java/R code in hands, only Matlab/C# BUT they were willing to help with Java code development. Currently I am setting up the project and going to code timeseries motif finding module for the Hackystat.
