The paper demonstrates that deep limit order book forecasting models can be repurposed to quantify scenario-conditioned market impact without retraining. By injecting counterfactual order‑book messages into a trained Transformer forecaster, the authors compare predictive distributions before and after the injection, defining a short‑horizon model‑implied market impact. The approach achieves a Spearman correlation of 0.99 and 97.2% directional agreement with historical outcomes for non‑neutral scenarios, and captures incremental sequence‑dependent variation beyond scenario identity and pre‑event forecasts.
Deep Limit Order Book forecasting models capture nonlinear market dynamics, but their ability to quantify the effects of counterfactual order book messages has not been systematically validated. We in...
CEDAR is a two‑stage framework for demand forecasting that incorporates planned actions and external event signals. Stage I uses an Action‑Interleaved Transformer to model controllable state transitions under interventions, while Stage II applies a Residual Correction Module that aligns event descriptions with product context using LLM‑assisted text representations. Experiments on a large Alibaba 1688 dataset show that CEDAR improves simulation accuracy over traditional time‑series forecasting baselines and benefits real‑world budget planning.

LEAP (Likelihood Elicitation and Aggregation for Probabilistic forecasting) is a new approach that reorganizes how evidence is used in LLM-based forecasting systems. Instead of a monolithic prediction that aggregates all evidence at once, LEAP examines each evidence item separately, elicits likelihood parameters, and combines them with an explicit prior to produce a posterior distribution. The method supports continuous, single-choice, and multi-choice forecasts and has been shown to improve prediction and calibration metrics across models on a benchmark covering forecasting, information-seeking, and browsing tasks.

arXiv:2606. 10678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based models have emerged as leading paradigms in time-series forecasting in recent years, employing self-attention mechanisms to capture long-range dependencies.
Deep learning methods have achieved state-of-the-art in time series forecasting, yet their accuracy varies considerably across samples, as some instances remain inherently difficult to predict. Reject option mechanisms, which allow models to abstain from high-risk predictions, are well established in classification and regression but underexplored in forecasting.
