Disagree to Accelerate: Closing the Loop on Diffusion Feature Forecasts
arXiv:2608. 01740v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training-free feature forecasting accelerates diffusion sampling by predicting features at skipped denoising steps.
Seq-Flow is a conditional flow model that updates a distribution over future trajectories by transporting samples from a previous forecast distribution to an updated one using an ODE. It leverages self‑rollout training, where a moving‑average copy of the model generates forecasts that initialize subsequent flows, thereby controlling error propagation across recursive updates. Experiments on particle‑accelerator beam spill forecasting show a 65% reduction in CRPS under a few‑NFE sampling budget, and the model remains accurate over more than 400 consecutive updates while staying competitive on fluid‑dynamics tasks.

The paper introduces the Continuous Evolution Pool (CEP), a replay‑free framework for online time series forecasting that tackles recurring concept drift. CEP maintains a dynamic pool of specialized forecasters, using lightweight statistical genes to identify concepts, spawn new models when distribution shifts occur, and prune obsolete ones under memory limits. Experiments on real‑world datasets show CEP reduces forecasting error by up to 24% compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios with pronounced recurring drift.

arXiv:2607. 21080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon weather forecasting is a fundamental challenge in atmospheric science, for which autoregressive Deep Learning Weather Prediction (DLWP) has emerged as the primary paradigm.
Rolling Conformal Prediction (rolling‑CP) is a distribution‑free predictive inference method designed for sequential model training. It calibrates each incoming observation against the current predictor and incorporates it into future training, eliminating the need for data splitting. For exchangeable data, rolling‑CP guarantees marginal coverage with a universal factor‑two bound, and for i.i.d. streams it provides high‑probability training‑conditional validity over time, improving to the target level under stability conditions.
The paper introduces a new diffusion-based approach for probabilistic weather forecasting that incorporates auxiliary conditional denoising tasks. By predicting future states from both clean and corrupted contexts, the model reduces ambiguity and learns conditional distributions across noise levels using a proper scoring rule. Experiments demonstrate improved one‑step forecasting, especially at longer horizons, and better calibration in high‑dimensional global weather scenarios.
The paper introduces Physics‑SIMS‑TS, a conditional diffusion model designed for long‑horizon oil and gas production forecasting. It enforces monotone decline through negative guidance, decline‑curve constraints, and isotonic projection during sampling, and incorporates spatial training augmentation and an ensembled stochastic sampler to produce calibrated predictive distributions. Evaluated on over 35,000 wells across three jurisdictions, Physics‑SIMS‑TS achieves the highest accuracy among diffusion forecasters and matches transformer ensembles, with only a 0.5% increase in mean squared error for monotonicity.
