TimeRLM: Recursive Language Models Enable Precise Anomaly Localization in Long-Context Time-Series

arXiv:2608. 03391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Precise anomaly localization over long-context time series is a crucial task in monitoring applications across clinical care, industrial operations, financial services, and logistics, where brief evidence may hide inside long spans of high-frequency data.

CAST: Context- and Anomaly Structure-Conditioned Time Series Anomaly Generation

CAST is a framework for generating anomalous time series that addresses the scarcity and heterogeneity of anomaly data. It uses a two‑stage approach: pretraining on abundant normal data to learn system dynamics, then finetuning with anomaly structure representations to capture diverse anomaly morphologies. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that CAST outperforms existing methods in both generation quality and downstream task performance.

Adaptive Multi-Granularity Temporal Modeling for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces an adaptive temporal modeling framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection that addresses the limitations of rigid Multiple Instance Learning approaches. It presents a Temporal Refinement Module using dynamic positional encoding and a learnable class token to capture long‑range dependencies, and an Event Segmentation Module that identifies event boundaries via temporal discontinuity analysis to produce discriminative event‑level representations. An adaptive similarity‑based fusion strategy replaces fixed top‑k heuristics, dynamically integrating snippet‑level and event‑level anomaly scores into video‑level predictions, and the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two benchmarks.

AnomSeer: Reinforcing Multimodal LLMs to Reason for Time-Series Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2602. 08868v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is an emerging area, yet a persistent challenge remains: MLLMs rely on coarse time-series heuristics but struggle with multi-dimensional, detailed reasoning, which is vital for understanding complex time-series data.
