Time-warping estimation is a fundamental problem in signal processing with applications in bioacoustics, radar, and biomedical analysis. This paper introduces a Time-Warping Estimation Trainable (TWET) model for estimating timewarping functions from a single observation.

The proposed approach formulates time-warping estimation as a stationarization problem in the wavelet domain and leverages a hierarchical dilated convolutional architecture to estimate the time-warping functions. A differentiable stationarity criterion is introduced for end-to-end optimization.

TWET is compared with existing approaches. Experimental results show improved deformation reconstruction accuracy together with significantly reduced computation time, making the framework compatible with low-latency applications.
