RATL: Learning from Retrieved Residuals for Robust Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

RATL is a plug‑in method for multivariate time‑series forecasting that uses a frozen base forecaster to build a memory of its historical forecast residuals. During inference, RATL retrieves residual trajectories from similar past contexts and employs a set‑aware router to combine them, providing learned feedback correction. Experiments demonstrate that this residual‑retrieval approach improves the performance of the base forecaster across various benchmarks and backbones.

AsyTO: Asymmetric Temporal Operator for Parameter-Efficient Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2608. 16098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time-series forecasting faces a structural dilemma: sharing one temporal predictor across variables is parameter-efficient but forces heterogeneous variables through an identical history-to-future map, whereas learning an independent predictor per variable restores flexibility at a cost that grows with the product of variable count, context length, and horizon.

Learning to Difference: Adaptive Reversible Differencing (AdaRDiff) for Time Series Forecasting

AdaRDiff is a new adaptive reversible differencing technique for time‑series forecasting that learns weighted differencing to remove trend and seasonality, stabilizes residuals for forecasting, and then reconstructs the forecast autoregressively. The method offers a closed‑form convolutional implementation that can be GPU‑parallelized, achieving up to 33.7× speedup over naive recurrence. Experiments on eight diverse benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art accuracy and significant performance gains when integrated into various backbone models, from linear models to Transformers.

LeNEPA: No-Augmentation Next-Latent Prediction for Time-Series Representation Learning

arXiv:2607. 00958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series are central to modern data mining applications, from industrial telemetry and server metrics to finance and physiology, yet time-series self-supervised learning often depends on view and augmentation choices that encode domain-specific invariances.
