REGAIN: REconciliation GAIN-driven Auxiliary Direction Learning

arXiv:2606. 04380v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecast reconciliation usually starts from a fixed measurement system and asks how forecasts should be projected onto a coherent space.

RATL: Learning from Retrieved Residuals for Robust Multivariate Time-Series Forecasting

RATL is a plug‑in method for multivariate time‑series forecasting that uses a frozen base forecaster to build a memory of its historical forecast residuals. During inference, RATL retrieves residual trajectories from similar past contexts and employs a set‑aware router to combine them, providing learned feedback correction. Experiments demonstrate that this residual‑retrieval approach improves the performance of the base forecaster across various benchmarks and backbones.

AsyTO: Asymmetric Temporal Operator for Parameter-Efficient Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2608. 16098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time-series forecasting faces a structural dilemma: sharing one temporal predictor across variables is parameter-efficient but forces heterogeneous variables through an identical history-to-future map, whereas learning an independent predictor per variable restores flexibility at a cost that grows with the product of variable count, context length, and horizon.

Forecast-Dojo: Replayable Environments for Benchmarking and Training LLM Forecasting Agents

Forecast-Dojo is a replayable environment designed to benchmark and train large language model (LLM) forecasting agents. It integrates resolved prediction‑market questions with dated news, enabling agents to research events and revisit predictions at successive historical dates. The platform includes 1,568 Polymarket events, 18.8 million dated news articles, and supports repeated evaluation, training interactions, and outcome feedback, with evidence that research tools lower Brier scores across 12 tested models, though all models still lag behind historical market forecasts.

CoRe: Coherence and Relational Alignment for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

CoRe is a model‑agnostic learning objective for direct multivariate time‑series forecasting that replaces pointwise errors with two output‑space constraints: a frequency coherence loss aligning predicted and target spectra, and a low‑rank relational graph loss matching pairwise differences in a PCA subspace. The objective introduces no trainable parameters and can be applied to existing forecasting backbones by changing only the loss. Experiments on standard benchmarks show that CoRe improves strong baselines, compares favorably with recent forecasting objectives, and remains effective across different backbones, datasets, and hyperparameter settings.
