Are Time-Series Foundation Models Ready for E-Nose Data? An Empirical Assessment of Their Embeddings

arXiv:2606. 27672v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by advances in natural language processing and computer vision, "time-series foundation models" (TSFMs) have recently been introduced with the promise of strong generalization across diverse time-series tasks, including forecasting, classification, and anomaly detection, as well as across domains such as healthcare, climate science, and manufacturing.

Time-Aware Tranformer-Based Prediction Model for AECOPD

The paper presents a Time-Aware transformer-based model designed to predict Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) using only respiratory data from daily-use ventilators. By capturing symptom patterns and their temporal progression, the model generates meaningful patient representations and outperforms traditional methods across multiple classification tasks. This approach aims to provide timely detection of AECOPD while minimizing latency associated with clinical and laboratory data.

CF-JEPA: Mask-free forward prediction with asymmetric encoder utilization for time-series representation learning

arXiv:2606. 07031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) for time-series representation learning is dominated by two paradigms: contrastive methods, which face challenges in constructing positive or negative pairs, and masking-based methods, which disrupt the temporal continuity of time-series signals.

A Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields for Interpretable Irregular Time Series Classification

The paper introduces a Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields (BORF) for classifying irregular time series, extending the original BORF to handle non-uniform sampling, missing data, and variable lengths. It adds a time-weighted normalization that weights observations by their time deltas, enabling pattern extraction that reflects the true temporal distribution. The method maintains linear time complexity and is evaluated against state‑of‑the‑art irregular time‑series classifiers, achieving competitive performance while providing human‑interpretable explanations.
