  Time Series Classification and Extrinsic Regression are important and
challenging machine learning tasks. Deep learning has revolutionized natural
language processing and computer vision and holds great promise in other fields
such as time series analysis where the relevant features must often be
abstracted from the raw data but are not known a priori. This paper surveys the
current state of the art in the fast-moving field of deep learning for time
series classification and extrinsic regression. We review different network
architectures and training methods used for these tasks and discuss the
challenges and opportunities when applying deep learning to time series data.
We also summarize two critical applications of time series classification and
extrinsic regression, human activity recognition and satellite earth
observation.
