Early Classification of Time Series (ECTS) requires making accurate decisions as early as possible in inherently online and evolving environments. Yet, most existing methods assume stationarity and rely on separable designs, where classification and triggering are optimized independently, an assumption that fundamentally limits their adaptability under drift.
arXiv:2604. 01577v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study out of distribution generalization in streaming tasks where models are trained on short sequences but must operate over much longer, unknown horizons under bounded memory.

arXiv:2601. 19624v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world reinforcement learning often faces environment drift, but most existing methods rely on static entropy coefficients/target entropy, causing over-exploration during stable periods and under-exploration after drift, and leaving unanswered the principled question of how exploration intensity should scale with drift magnitude.

OliO is a self‑supervised learning method for time‑series forecasting that models bidirectional temporal flows using a linear ODE‑based transition operator. By enforcing a strictly upper triangular constraint on the transition matrix, it ensures numerical stability and captures long‑term dependencies without exponential divergence. Experiments on multiple backbones and benchmarks show up to 5.75% MSE improvement over state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

SwitchPFN introduces a shared projection and regime codebook for time‑series classification with tabular foundation models, preserving local temporal transitions while ensuring consistent feature definitions across samples. The method outperforms existing representations, achieving the highest mean accuracy on evaluated benchmarks and improving the strongest baseline by 4.47% relative. Ablation, sensitivity, and limited‑data experiments confirm the benefits of the proposed representation design.
