The paper introduces Li‑Net, a new architecture for multi‑channel time series forecasting that captures both linear and non‑linear dependencies among channels. Li‑Net compresses representations across sequence and channel dimensions, processes them with a configurable non‑linear module, and reconstructs forecasts while integrating a sparse Top‑K Softmax attention mechanism within a multi‑scale projection framework. Experiments on real‑world benchmarks show that Li‑Net matches state‑of‑the‑art accuracy while using less memory and achieving faster inference, with ablation studies confirming the contribution of each component.
arXiv:2607. 19404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time series encode structural patterns that unfold across multiple temporal scales, yet most forecasting backbones treat learned representations as transient byproducts of prediction, leaving the organizational geometry of these patterns underexploited.
SETTer is a transformer-based model designed for long‑term multivariate time‑series forecasting. It introduces decoupled self‑attention and hybrid masking to better handle high dimensionality and complex relationships, while adding explainable structures to highlight discriminative patterns. Experiments on real‑world benchmarks show that SETTer outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models in 88% of scenarios.

arXiv:2607. 10740v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The analysis of Multivariate Time Series (MTS) plays an important role in a lot of real-world practical applications, but it still remains some challenging problem about capturing multi-granularity structural patterns and suppressing noise appropriately.
arXiv:2607. 08234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world time series exhibit complex dynamics characterized by multiple simultaneous temporal patterns: short-term fluctuations, periodic seasonal cycles, long-term trends, and irregular abrupt changes.
arXiv:2511. 20577v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Real-world time series often exhibit strong non-stationarity, complex nonlinear dynamics, and behavior expressed across multiple temporal scales, from rapid local fluctuations to slow-evolving long-range trends.
NeST is a framework that adapts large language models (LLMs) for continuous time‑series forecasting by creating neighborhood‑aware text prototypes and aligning them with temporal representations through a nearest‑neighbor contrastive objective. It retrieves the most relevant prototypes and uses them to conditionally modulate time‑series features, enabling more effective integration of textual and temporal information. Experiments show that NeST outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on eight benchmarks, reduces MSE by 1.2% for long‑term forecasting, improves zero‑shot forecasting by 4.9%, and boosts R² by 3.3% on a real‑world photovoltaic power forecasting task.
