arXiv:2606. 10466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In time-series generation, existing approaches typically handcraft ortrain a separate model for each dataset, which hinders their scalability and fails to leverage shared temporal structures across domains.

arXiv:2606. 20416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models rely heavily on explicit timestep embeddings to modulate the denoising process across various noise scales.

arXiv:2606. 01289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-shot time series forecasting aims to predict future values for previously unseen series, requiring models to generalize temporal dynamics beyond the training distribution.

arXiv:2605. 11287v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A persistent paradox in time-series forecasting is that structurally simple MLP and linear models often outperform high-capacity Transformers.

arXiv:2608. 10120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern sequence models, from Transformers to State Space Models, have enabled powerful generative modeling across diverse domains, yet they are typically trained to predict what happens while treating when it happens as a secondary concern.

arXiv:2606. 09861v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Next-Token Prediction (NTP) has unified LLM pretraining, its adaptation to unbounded, continuous time series (TS) remains open.

arXiv:2607. 04245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models have changed how machine learning represents complex data distributions, especially in language and vision, yet many real-world systems are observed instead as continuous, high-dimensional, and noisy sensor time series.
By Zitao Shuai, Zongzhe Xu, Yuntian Wu, Sirui Li, Tianhong Li, Yuzhe Yang
arXiv:2503. 07154v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative pre-training is often framed through a false dichotomy between autoregressive models for discrete signals and diffusion models for continuous signals.
By Jiaming Song, Linqi Zhou
arXiv:2602. 03564v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time series forecasting can be viewed as a generative problem that requires both semantic understanding over contextual conditions and stochastic modeling of continuous temporal dynamics.

arXiv:2607. 16251v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatio-Temporal Foundation Models (STFMs) aim to learn generalizable representations of complex dynamical systems across space and time.
