Automatically Generated Linguistic Summaries of Energy Consumption Data

In this paper a method is described to automatically generate linguistic summaries of real world time series data provided by a utility company. The methodology involves the following main steps: partitioning of time series into fuzzy intervals, calculation of statistical indicators for the partitions, generation of summarising sentences and determination of the truth-fullness of these sentences, and finally selection of relevant sentences from the generated set of sentences.
