Gaussian process prediction for time series of structured data

Time series prediction constitutes a classic topic in machine learning with wide-ranging applications, but mostly restricted to the domain of vectorial sequence entries. In recent years, time series of structured data (such as sequences, trees or graph structures) have become more and more important, for example in social network analysis or intelligent tutoring systems. In this contribution, we propose an extension of time series models to strucured data based on Gaussian processes and structure kernels. We also provide speedup techniques for predictions in linear time, and we evaluate our approach on real data from the domain of intelligent tutoring systems.
