CITRAS: Covariate-Informed Transformer for Time Series Forecasting
arXiv:2503. 24007v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In time series forecasting, covariates represent external factors that influence target variables.
DiTS introduces a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer designed for time‑series forecasting that incorporates heterogeneous exogenous covariates. The model treats endogenous targets and exogenous covariates as separate modalities, jointly conditioning future generation on target history and available covariates. By employing flow matching and Time‑aligned Modulation, DiTS achieves strong deterministic and probabilistic forecasting performance across diverse covariate‑aware tasks.

The paper introduces TiMi, a framework that enhances time series transformers with a Multimodal Mixture-of-Experts (MMoE) module to incorporate multimodal data, especially textual information, into forecasting. TiMi leverages large language models to generate future inferences that guide predictions, eliminating the need for explicit representation alignment. Experiments show TiMi achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on sixteen real‑world multimodal forecasting benchmarks, outperforming advanced baselines while maintaining adaptability and interpretability.
DynG-Diff is a new diffusion-based framework for probabilistic multivariate time‑series forecasting that addresses the challenge of information heterogeneity across variables. It uses a two‑stage training strategy with an unconditional diffusion backbone and introduces a lightweight state‑aware policy network that dynamically adjusts guidance strength based on real‑time variable reliability. The dynamic guidance is mathematically framed as local precision, allowing the model to focus on high‑confidence variables and suppress anomalous noise, leading to competitive performance and robustness on real‑world benchmarks.
Probabilistic multivariate time series (MTS) forecasting is crucial for modeling complex dynamical systems. However, existing diffusion-based methods rely on task-specific conditional paradigms that l...
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.
WorldTS is a new forecasting framework that models latent dynamics conditioned on multimodal covariates to improve time‑series prediction. It uses a two‑stage training process: first learning latent state dynamics from historical data and covariates, then training a decoder to map predicted latent states back to future observations. Experiments on 21 real‑world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
ProtoFlow is a new multivariate time series forecasting framework that combines vector‑quantized autoencoding with prototype‑guided flow matching. It maps sequences into a discrete latent space, constructs a structured prior from the learned VQ codebook, and trains a DiT‑based rectified flow to transport samples from this prior to future latent representations conditioned on past observations. By replacing generic Gaussian noise with a learned prototype prior, ProtoFlow eliminates autoregressive rollout mismatch and achieves faster training convergence while delivering superior forecasting performance on benchmark datasets.
