It&amp;#x27;s true, many API-level things are opaque about how they work, but their theoretical foundations are usually possible to pick up. I guess a good way to do this is via an example. I had to build a system to hit the following criteria: * The data is scarce * The data is time series * The data follows a state machine * The data is noisy, and contains a signal that&amp;#x27;s unique across all training samples Gluing together multiple domains of…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1407.7502/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
