MS Pattern Explorer’s user tasks.

Task	Description
U1 Sequence analysis	Detailed longitudinal analysis of temporal sequences for selected PwMS, focusing on heart rate and step count.
U2 Pattern exploration	Explore patterns for selected MS activity attributes using clustering algorithms and interactive ML processes.
U3 Sequence search	Search for similar sequences based on a query, retrieving the k-most similar sequences.
U4 Temporal pattern localization	Localize pattern sequences along the temporal attribute to see distribution for a PwMS.
U5 Pattern contextualization	Relate frequent patterns to external metadata attributes like time of day, day of week, and weather conditions for context, to further support hypothesis generation.
