Divide-and-Conquer Modeling for the CTF-4-Science Lorenz Benchmark

arXiv:2606. 10084v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work presents a divide-and-conquer modeling strategy for the CTF-4-Science Lorenz benchmark, which evaluates chaotic-system prediction across twelve hidden scores and five scenario families: clean forecasting, noisy reconstruction, noisy-input forecasting, few-shot learning, and parametric generalization.

Adaptive Nonlinear Vector Autoregression: Robust Forecasting for Noisy Chaotic Time Series

The paper introduces a data‑adaptive nonlinear vector autoregression (NVAR) model that replaces fixed polynomial or random feature maps with a shallow, trainable multilayer perceptron (MLP). By jointly training the MLP and a linear readout via gradient‑based optimization, the model learns data‑driven nonlinearities while maintaining a simple readout structure, improving scalability in high‑dimensional settings. Experiments on several chaotic systems, both noise‑free and synthetically noisy, show that this adaptive NVAR outperforms standard NVAR, a leaky echo state network (ESN), and a hybrid ESN in predictive accuracy, demonstrating robust forecasting under noisy conditions.

Sliding-Window Reordering with Overlap Averaging: A Simple Time-Domain Augmentation for Multivariate Forecasting

The paper introduces a simple, model‑agnostic time‑domain augmentation called Sliding‑Window Reordering with Overlap Averaging. It transforms the joint input‑target sequence into overlapping windows, randomly reorders a fraction of them based on a variance criterion, and reconstructs the sequence by averaging overlaps to generate synthetic samples with controlled variation and minimal temporal distortion. Experiments show strong performance gains across nine long‑term forecasting benchmarks and four short‑term traffic benchmarks, with detailed ablations and diagnostics highlighting the effectiveness of each design choice.

Benchmarking Physics-Informed Time-Series Models for Operational Global Station Weather Forecasting

arXiv:2406. 14399v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The development of Time-Series Forecasting (TSF) models is often constrained by the lack of comprehensive datasets, especially in Global Station Weather Forecasting (GSWF), where existing datasets are small, temporally short, and spatially sparse.

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.
