Probabilistic time series forecasting remains challenging, largely because modeling distinct trend and seasonal dynamics requires specialized approaches. Existing methods often fail to capture the unique inner properties of these components, lack interpretability, or suffer from heavy memory and runtime overhead.
arXiv:2603. 15506v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We argue that the current practice of evaluating AI/ML time-series forecasting models, predominantly on benchmarks characterized by strong, persistent periodicities and seasonalities, obscures real progress by overlooking the performance of efficient classical methods.

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.

arXiv:2607. 09537v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting requires models to capture diverse, often mutually exclusive, temporal dynamics, from smooth trend continuation to nonstationary drift and strict phase-aligned recurrence.

arXiv:2508. 05287v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing time series foundation models (TSFMs), often based on transformer variants, lack adaptability to different sampling rates, struggle with generalization across varying context and target lengths, and are computationally inefficient.

The paper presents a probabilistic post‑processing framework that uses a conditional Variational Autoencoder (cVAE) with a non‑parametric decoder to adjust seasonal Arctic sea‑ice forecasts. By replacing the Gaussian decoder with a generator and optimizing with Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS), the method produces larger, bias‑corrected ensembles that are better calibrated, more consistent with observations, and exhibit higher resolution and sharper spectral power than standard cVAEs. The approach demonstrates improved forecast skill and reduced errors compared to benchmark predictions.
