The proposed framework infers timed temporal logic properties from data by leveraging decision-tree-based methods to learn Signal Temporal Logic classifiers using primitive formulae. The framework formulates the inference process as a mixed integer linear programming optimization problem, recursively generating constraints to determine both data classification and tree structure. This approach leads to improved classification rates compared to prior methodologies. Additionally, the framework introduces a technique to reduce the number of constraints by exploiting symmetry in STL primitives, enhancing time performance and interpretability. The algorithm’s effectiveness is evaluated through three case studies involving two-class, multi-class, and complex formula classification scenarios.

This paper helps computers better understand how things happen over time. It shows how to teach machines to look at data and figure out if it follows certain rules or patterns. For example, imagine teaching a computer to detect if a ship is following a safe route. The researchers use a special kind of math called Signal Temporal Logic to help the computer learn. They also make the process more efficient by finding ways to simplify the rules and make it easier for humans to understand what the computer has learned.
