And while Poisson processes provide models for such data, they often lack the flexibility to cope with wide ranges of different behaviors. In this paper, we propose a clustering algorithm for temporal point process intensities that has this flexibility as we incorporate a fast spline interpolation method. We use a scalable kernel approach to handle local translation invariance and employ maximum entropy principles for model selection and outlier detection. This way, our framework allows us to uncover fine grained dynamical classes of behavior and we apply it to user answer time-stamps crawled from the question answering site StackOverflow, push events in the Github version control repository, and to transactions in the BitCoin network. Results indicate that on StackOverflow sites the users classes are divided into bursty dynamics and into weekly dynamics with low replica activity. For the BitCoin data, we find patterns of growing activity reflecting economic bubble behavior. The Github data reveals patterns of concentrated and periodic activity.enpoint processesclusteringdata mininguser behavior005006629Patterns and Outliers in Temporal Point Processesconference paper
