# FaceDetection (TsFile)

Apache TsFile version of the `FaceDetection` UEA classification subset of
[`thuml/Time-Series-Library`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thuml/Time-Series-Library).

## Overview

MEG brain-activity recordings; classify whether a face or scramble was shown.

- **Train samples:** 5,890  •  **Test samples:** 3,524.
- **Dimensions (channels):** 144  •  **Series length:** 62.
- **Classes:** 2.

Each sample is an independent multivariate series. TRAIN and TEST are stored as
two separate TsFiles (`FaceDetection_train.tsfile` / `FaceDetection_test.tsfile`).

## Schema (TsFile structure)

- **sample_index** (TAG) — one device per sample. Query one sample with
  `WHERE sample_index=0`.
- **Time** (INT64) — within-sample position (0..61); a frame index, not a
  wall-clock timestamp (the sktime `.ts` source has none).
- **dim_0 … dim_143** (FIELD, FLOAT) — the 144 channels at each position.
- **class_label** (FIELD, STRING) — the sample's class, repeated on every row.

Converted from the sktime `.ts` format. Nothing is dropped: every dimension,
time point, and label is preserved.

## Usage

Read the `.tsfile` files with the Apache TsFile Java or Python SDK.
