LLMs as Master Forgers: Generating Synthetic Time Series Data for Manufacturing

The paper introduces a framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic time‑series data for manufacturing processes. By fine‑tuning pre‑trained LLMs on manufacturing instructions and applying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the method enhances data diversity and realism. Evaluation against traditional models such as ARIMA and LSTMs shows that the LLM‑driven approach produces higher‑quality synthetic data, better capturing temporal dependencies and improving downstream anomaly detection performance.

TS-RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation for Time Series Forecasting

While deep learning models, particularly transformer-based architectures, have shown impressive performance in time series forecasting, the application of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in this domain remains limited. Since RAG has proven effective in enhancing the capabilities of large language models by incorporating relevant external information, retrieving similar time series sequences as references might also improve accuracy in time series forecasting tasks.

ChronoSSM: Training for Temporally Aware Representations in Autoregressive State Space Models

arXiv:2608. 10120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern sequence models, from Transformers to State Space Models, have enabled powerful generative modeling across diverse domains, yet they are typically trained to predict what happens while treating when it happens as a secondary concern.

D-TAIA: Domain-Aware LLM Adaptation for Multi-Task Predictive Process Monitoring

D-TAIA is a framework that adapts large language models for multi‑task predictive process monitoring, jointly predicting the next activity and remaining time of ongoing cases. It uses domain‑aware triplet loss pre‑training, FAISS‑based nearest‑neighbor retrieval for time estimation, and a TAIA inference strategy to preserve sequential reasoning while fine‑tuning a 10 M‑parameter backbone. Across four real‑world event logs, D‑TAIA achieves state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results compared to a fine‑tuned LLM and a recurrent neural network baseline, with ablation studies showing the effectiveness of NLP and computer‑vision techniques for this domain.
